Me too and that particular "journalist" represents all the worst aspects of the English psyche like being nationalistic and zenophobic, parochial, mean spirited, bigoted, selfish, nimby and a island mentality but none of the other wonderful qualities that this country's people also possess.

The clue is in the "who needs paper news?" question. So, no. I don't take paper newspapers when there is perfectly adequate good quality content from various sources online. Including newspaper media.

Any media which seeks to do anything other than inform, with all known evidence, is dangerous. Opinion based media is worst of all. My call has always been, don't tell me what to think. Present me with the facts, and I will make up my own mind. Tabloid newspapers, and significant others, do anything but that. They have a political agenda which seeps through every word they publish.

Commercial TV is a bit like that too.
