New York Times vs. Cracked

I read Cracked.com on a regular basis. It is a website that sometimes allows readers to write articles as well and send them in. Most of the pieces are humorous and meant for people who have a good sense of humor. They are often lists on random sometimes even arbitrary subjects, like movie characters, or places nobody likes going to. The thing about cracked.com is that they make these topics extremely interesting and colorful, and put a lot of humor into it and allow people to see these ordinary things in a new light they can relate to. It's for younger adults who enjoy sarcasm and satire, and almost every one of their articles is very easy to relate to. The New York Times is a newspaper written for sophisticated people who lean towards the left. It's a
liberal newspaper and not at all an easy read. It's meant for older adults in search of serious information and has a very formal tone. They often write about global crises or problems within the country. The newspaper has an extensive science and political section.
