Which is more or less what the Guardian and Observer was filled with over the weekend

Well that is their audience.Hand-wringing middle-class types trying to out-self-flaggelate each other.

I've pretty well given up on any one newspaper.I quite like The Metro; it's the headlines, and a little bulk for if you've got the time.
All this worthy analysis and naval-gazing and opinion is just so much bollocks - opinions on any given problem at any given time:
Tabloids: it's obviously the fault of the forrins.
The Times: it's rather obviously the fault of the forrins, though some of them can be damnably decent chaps.
The Telegraph: it's rather obviously the fault of the forrins, though some of them can be damnably decent chaps, now here's the cricket.
The Independent: actually I met a few forrins during my gap year, and they didn't do it.
The Guardian: it's probably our fault for not knowing enough forrins.
The Daily Fail: HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE.
Next up: The Israel/Palestine issue - which side should YOU support?

I generally read the Independent, but I couldn't find a copy all weekend on my travelsThe Times: Filled with news, but you're giving your money to Murdoch
The Telegraph: Sensible journalism, but old school broadsheet, and tricky on the tube or a train
The Guardian: Sensible journalism, but again, old school broadsheet, and tricky on the tube or a train

Both the Indy and the Guardian are too "right on" for me.They're a stone's throw away from writing the "Pollution!" poem that Wrik does on the Young Ones.
You can smell the decaffinated freshly-brewed coffee wafting in from the kitchen every time you open one.
The tabloids and Fail, obviously, can piss right off, and the Times and Telegraph are too much like hard work in terms of managing to coordinate their pages while hungover.

I would prefer that in my face than the general tone of the Times or Telegraph to be honestI generally like what the Independent gets itself involved with, and ultimately want to read a 'newspaper,' in the morning as opposed to a piece of mindless crap like the Sun/Mirror/Star/Express/Hate, which I wouldn't be seen dead with on my person
There's simply no journalism in freeebies like the Metro, and not enough information for me to get to grips with any news

No I know - The Metro really is yesterday's news, today.But it's relatively opinion/bias free, which I like. It also has a letters page co-written by Major Cuthbert Arbuthnott and Very Bloody Angry, which is nice.
