Rule 1. NEVER let the truth get in the way of a good story.
Rule 2. There are no other rules. |

By an large, I find print media as much fun as plunging heated needles into my eyes. If I have to read something, I suppose The Guardian/Observer/The Independent are the ones I'd go for, since I object to paying someone for their opinion, and I'm not going to go out of my way to find something in the poor quality lavatory fodder that panders to my prejudices. I'm a fact junkie, so I prefer to formulate my own opinions. Thus I like Teletext news... enough text to get the facts,with restricted enough space for the reporter to be unable to have an opinion in there.
For comedy value, The Daily Nazi and The Hate Mail are great. Go through the opinion pieces replacing the object of the splenetic rant of the day with 'Black','Slav, 'Communist or 'Jew' and it's like reading Die Sturm!

The Sun for me, keeps me occupied for the train journey to college everday.
Good jounalists, cartoons nearly all get politics correct, people asking for advice in their sex lives are funny and the football reports are top class.
Daily Mirror is totally funny total left wingers (hypocrites). The richard hammond special was a joke; the way they were carrying on you would have thought he was dead and more important than any one else.
I know he was injured in a crash but he survived; he is not the only person to survive a crash. |

Strangely, the Yorkshire Post. I much prefer the regional dailys/evening papers and always pick up a copy of the Standard when in London. |

I'm a Telegraph man, balanced with the Mail, but I'd be interested to know:
When they're thrust at you, do you choose the Evening Standard Lite, or TheLondonPaper? |
