The Star Newspapers of the Mid-Century American

In those days the popular newspaper colonists were Mike Royco, Jimmy Breslin and Pete Hamill they always channeled this sort of scorn of the average reader for the hoity-toity sometimes corrupt all-dealing elites. They tended to be Irishmen or whatever you know they kind of resembled cops in some ways in those days a lot of them were like sons of cops right right rightThey were all streetwise you couldn't really speak to the readership of these papers without at least pretending to be a guy who had drinks with the detectives and hung out with the gangsters and so on well certainly in the case of Jimmy Breslins there was no pretending going on.
