# I generally read the Independent, but I couldn't find a copy all weekend on my travels
The 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 honest
I 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.
