The Guardian is about as hard left as credible reporting comes. So
hard left it's virtually fantasy.

I know it refers to itself as a newspaper but as far as I'm
concerned it's a magazine.

It is quite good though. I recall being unexpectedly impressed with a
few articles in there.

I like the Economist too.

It styles itself a newspaper, I'm prepared to believe them, I also
don't really see why it's not?

It carries news...


I like it because it does analysis and it seems to this American
reader that it does it better than the corresponding American
weekly publication.

What corresponding American weekly publicaton?

I would like to get some other American
opinion on that, what do they prefer in the American press?
Do they read the Economist?

I've subscribed to the Economist for almost twenty yewars.

The following item indicates that the UK newspapers are
now doing a better job than the now terrorized American press.

But what are the "good" UK newspapers? Which ones do
our UK readers recommend? Are they usually available
on the continent??

I;d say Independent independent.co.uk and the Guardian (guardian.co.uk)
and its Sunday sister, the Observer (links from the Guardian site)

There's always the Sun too (and strangely, its stable mate,
theTimes.co.uk )

Now called The Guardian, and no longer published in Manchester.

I think you'll find it's published in London and Manchester.

Duhh??? Vapidly liberal at most, and not even Liberal with a big L. Look at
the way the former editor, Peter Preston, acted as a copper's nark and
landed one of his own sources in jail.

For example ...

Just look at some of the stuff they have said about renewable energy
(search for it on their site)... utter bull**** if ever I've read it.

Their view is one of never giving an inch to the right (or never
giving an inch to anything American) which is something that ****es me
off. Defining oneself in terms of left and right is simplistic and
foolish, and that's what the Guardian does constantly to appease its
readers.

The BBC has better balance from my point of view. They will lean to
the left, but they wont fall over.

It may be a broadening experience for Americans to read non-American
newspapers while travelling. I hope you will find that many of us
"underexposed" Americans may access the BBC, Le Monde, NY Times, etc.
without going abroard. Although the experience of going abroad to do so is a
much nicer experience. Everyone, not just yanks, should explore the press of
other nations.

http://newslink.org/ has a pretty good listing of online newspapers
from around the world, although there are a number of broken links.
If someone has found a better index, please post it.

I likes the Sun, Sunday Sport and the the Star cos they tell us about
reel life here in the UK. You know about who is shagging who, who is
the biggest moron in big bruther and wot footballer is shagging wot
bimbo this week. Also I luvs the deep and perceptive anaysis of soaps
where everybody is in crisis and can't cope with life and is denial
that they have cogent thoughts about the theory of relativity but dare
no speak about a love that has no name. Also I luvs to see the big
tits.

Thanks.
