The Graun's tofu-centric handwringing-type articles get on my nerves (and i consider myself centre-lefty) but when it comes to real news reporting they're still the highest quality. The Indy's gone downhill a bit, Torygraph's OK (and the editorial line doesn't bother me, you know where they're coming from anyway). I used to read The Times before that nefarious dwarf put it behind a paywall, no way does he get a cent of my money (well, directly at least).<br /><br />The Mail/Standard/Sun/Mirror/etc are just rags, a collective waste of my time, never go there (and wouldn't even if they were free access).<br /><br />So sorry bout that Zelo; Only wanted to applaud the Mensch digging and ending up ranting.Ottohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03069822714021884725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-46369785586450004292015-04-11T16:05:13.007+01:002015-04-11T16:05:13.007+01:00The newsagent near where I work always rings a fre...The newsagent near where I work always rings a free copy of the Sun through the till when I buy my lunch. I've never taken it. I wonder how many 'sales' that generates nationally? neilnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-60660545278896575332015-04-11T15:10:21.350+01:002015-04-11T15:10:21.350+01:00Is it even sensible comparing the sales of the Sun...Is it even sensible comparing the sales of the Sun and Guardian? They're different formats, appeal to different audiences, and don't even try to compete for shared ground. <br /><br />OK, I understand that the stereotypical Sun and Guardian readers are polar opposites, and the G embodies everything the Sun and it's stereotypical reader purport to hate. But a fairer comparison would be Times vs Guardian, or Sun vs Mirror. <br /><br />OK, the Sun wins out there, something I'd put down to price, tits and football. Andy McDonaldnoreply@blogger.com
