I use the term rarely. As for taking the whole week to read the paper, I also did that once upon a time, but more and more I sense the business side of things more than the news side. For example, Arts & Leisure, formerly my favorite section, is now one gigantic ad for Broadway shows and movies. Ditto the Book Review, pushing the best sellers. I now limit my reading to the News and Opinion sections only, and find both the Times and the WSJournal pushing their own agendas exclusively.
