    Default Which newspapers do you read?

    A newspaper a person reads can tell you a lot about a person, so I thought I'd start a thread where all TWC members can tell each other which ones they get.

    Personally, I get the Guardian. I think it's journalism is good and I largely agree with its political beliefs. The Independent isn't bad, either...

    The Mail, Times and the F.T. I nice cross section……...of right wing media. Anyway I like the Mail some good journalism although its anti P.C brigade campaigning can get a bit boring at times, but that’s not to say I don’t support it. They also have genuinely well written stories and articles in paper. I get the F.T because being a part time stock market investor I like to keep my fingers on pulse on the movers and shakers in the City.

    The times and the guardian are the only real choices if I'm having a serious read. Daily Wail if I need a paper to read before work in the dead half hour before 9, its short and hilarious.

    Red workers magazine, Socialistic times and Communist Front...it's kind of an unbiased news source.

    De Morgen

    A socialist newspaper somewhat biased against the US, in particular it's foreign policy, and against Het Vlaams Belang, a racist party in Belgium.

    Fairly neutral for the rest I suppose

    Same here. I'd like to switch to De Standaard, though. I like it's smaller format and I have the impression it's a bit less biased. But "biased" is a big word to use in this case.

    I read the Sydney Morning Herald, it's mostly unbiased, although some accuse it of swinging slightly to the left. Also read Newsweek and Time when I can get my hands on em (get them for free from a newsagent friend of mine).

    The Guardian and the independent mainly. Yeah, and the Mail and the Sun for laughs! Good Journalism, indeed.

    Another for the Guardian here. It swings to the left, and it takes every opportunity to bash the Government (some times just for the sake of it), but it's better than the Tory-Graph.
