    there’s been a few divisive threads recently, so in the spirit of raising morale, I’d like to ask your newspaper preferences..

    I personally believe that newspapers are written by idiots, for idiots, with the sole intention of lining Fat Cat pockets.. so I’ve mostly stuck to picking up the occasional local rag..

    My reasoning is that current affairs, from a realist’s point of view, have no bearing on my life whatsoever.. Here on the ground, as I go about my daily toil, very little changes from one year to the next, and any ‘important’ decisions by the powerful people that run tings register as little more than a minor fluctuation in prices at the till or tax office..

    I don’t presume that my ill informed world opinions learned from one biased source or another are of any importance or have the potential to make any positive impact on the world, so I try to keep things relevant to my environment..

    so.. what daily propaganda pamphlet do you get your celeb gossip from and why..?

    Establishment-toned but otherwise good foreign and domestic reporting.

    Don’t pay for it, mind. Pick one up each morning from the News International post room across the loading bay.

    Metro as it’s closest to being a printed version of the PA feed (or used to be anyway).

    Soobalais was even smart enough to keep the pedant police happy with a little STW in-joke. No one seems to have noticed though – too busy reading The Independent perhaps?

    what, a thread where no one is abusing each other or bickering and no uber sensitives – not interested then.

    The i – concise and compact and cheap. Used to get the big brother the Independent but the i takes a lot less time to read.

    I don’t bother with the news hard copy or online, I’ll sometimes see and read articles – from searches etc. – but don’t make any special effort to read the ‘news’
