How about instead of reading a newsrag, instead try reading a book or some poetry, maybe even a science journal or two? Although it can only be discredited work.
You really do need to be part of this... Page 6
I do read a few books as well, honest.
I think you're right though, my time is best spent avoiding Newspapers unless NewsJack is on.
Quote: Steve Sunshine @ July 9 2011, 2:45 AM BSTI buy the papers but I tend to skim through them, perhaps because I'm buying the rubbish papers.
But you can't read the big uns very easy on the tube
Try a few editions of I, Steve. It's cheap and informative. Oh and small.
You could get The Week which rounds up a lot of good stuff from the papers once a week and has a fiendish crossword.
The NOTW could have sorted all this mess by simply having tokens each week for a free pasty from Greggs.
Quote: Steve Sunshine @ July 9 2011, 1:15 AM BSTI usually buy the News of the World (not for much longer)
And the Sun & The Daily Mail.
Perhaps now is a good time to change to some better Newspapers.
Any recommendations?

Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers:
The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country;
The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country;
The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country;
The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country;
The Financial Times is read by people who own the country;
The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country;
And The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.
Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?
Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.
The I is good. Imagine the Metro with news and analysis in it.
Rebecca brooks used to be quite a babe in her heyday.
Alas, gingers don't age well.

I still find the whole Page 3 thing a bit weird. The British have always had a reputation for being sexually repressed, but we've had topless girls in our biggest-sellig paper for over 40 years. It would never happen in America, even today.
Is it just boobs on page 3, or do you sometimes see the downbelows too?

Sometimes you do see their legs, yes.

If it's downbelows you're after, zooo, then you'll find them all on the top shelf.
You've all been very helpful!
Zooo don't try to pretend. We know you read it everyday!
Apparently the final headline is:
Thank You And Goodbye.
Lame.
