I buy the Telegraph on Saturdays as a know-your-enemy exercise, and for the general knowledge crossword
so I was surprised to see that. But also News stories about how the Times and the Guardian had been influenced editorially by their major advertisers.
All a bit pathetic really.

It used to be a great paper.
Its 'hard' news coverage, reportage of stuff that was actually happening, in the Gradgrindian sense, was unrivalled by absolutely no one. Ok, you never liked the editorial, comment or opinion stuff. Fair enough. But they used to never confuse reportage with editorialising. Now it is utter toilet. Thin, weak and feeble. This has happened in the last four to five years. It's a tragedy for British media. I used to buy it literally daily. I can count on two hands the number of times I've bought it in the last two years. But pissflaps likes the cricket coverage.

Yep, I agree about its coverage of news.
