‘New York Sun’ Will Take Circ By Any Means Necessary

The New York Sun has long left free, unsolicited, and impossible to get rid of copies on the doorsteps of the posher zip codes of Manhattan (including Howard Dean's mom's doorstep!), but their circulation strategy seems to be expanding beyond the wealthier denizens of our fair city. A correspondent reports that copies of the paper were recently left on doorsteps in Bensonhurst, the working-class, historically Italian neighborhood in Brooklyn that's seen its fair share of racial incidents over the years. It left our tipster to wonder: "Really, couldn't the Sun just move their offices to Staten Island and be done with it?"
