Regrettably, Mordochisation now means that includes most of the old
broadsheets - and the Torygraph has been the most unreliable heap of
rubbish on such matters for decades.

Frankly, the only widely available papers where the news isn't more
propaganda than fact are the Scotsman, the Independent and the
Guardian - and they get increasingly woolly-minded in that order, so
you have to allow for them being just plain addled. You should, of
course, ignore the carefully balanced collection of unbalanced loons
that the Independent allows free rein to in the Opinions and Comment
section.

But at least those three TRY to separate fact from polemic - the
others actually try to dress up polemic as fact - not that they need
to be that subtle for their readership :-(
