    I look on the web at both the Torygraph and the Guardian and make my opinion in the space somewhere in between. Must admit that some of the Guardian's foreign affairs stuff can at times be quite thought provoking.

    i too like the telegraph, but watch channel 4 news and use BBC news website as my primary way of keeping up to date.

    however i can't mop up my coffee with the tv or monitor.

    The Tory graph is very pro squaddie, but for something to counter the right wing biases read the Guardian/independent and balance the Ying with the Yang.

    On a Sunday try the Observer it can make the Tory graph look like the socialist worker at times. Top for your EFP(or equivalent).

    Stick with the Sum 4 million Proles cannot be wrong.

    Telegraph, FT on Saturday, Private Eye for when I'm feeling wicked and the Economist for the overview of global events.

    "....that's an eclectic mixture, Cpl Litotes. What do you think your fellow soldiers read?"

    "The Sun, Sir, and the Mirror!"

    "So, Cpl Litotes", he said, leaning forward in anticipation of the trap closing, "if you read the broadsheets and they read the tabloids, how do you know what they are thinking?"

    "I buy the weeklies, Sir, but I live in the Mess and read all the newspapers. What topic would you like to discuss?"!

    And Cpl Litotes was a little better briefed on world affairs than he was.....
