The more I read newspapers, the less I believe, unless I believed it in the
first place (;-)).
I last read the Economist in 1993, researching for a paper at staff college. I
was aghast at the seemingly bigoted nature of some of the editorial, almost
fascist in content.
We have something similar in this country, other than the rubbish in the
"red-tops". The Daily Mail searches out stories that might be of interest to
the right-wingers and then ensures that the right parts of the story are placed
in a column to appeal to the "harrumph!" side of the reader's nature. The
Daily Telegraph has a similar bent, albeit in a larger, format.
