Garbage in New York

I've been riding the subway with some frequency, and I've been reading Jane Austen's Persuasion to pass the time. Some people show some level of interest or recognition in my book, but most don't have any idea what it is or don't even look, which is fine. I'm in the minority with a real book; most of the readers have a daily publication with them. When I arrived here, I expected to see a flood of The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal, but I was mistaken. What's the most frequently seen publication on the 1 train? I regret to say it's the New York Post. Our populace prefers complete rubbish to actual news. It's rather disappointing, if not surprising.
