The more I read newspapers, the less I believe, unless I believed it in the 
first place (;-)).

I last read the Economist in 1993, researching for a paper at staff college.  I 
was aghast at the seemingly bigoted nature of some of the editorial, almost 
fascist in content.

We have something similar in this country, other than the rubbish in the 
"red-tops".  The Daily Mail searches out stories that might be of interest to 
the right-wingers and then ensures that the right parts of the story are placed 
in a column to appeal to the "harrumph!" side of the reader's nature.  The 
Daily Telegraph has a similar bent, albeit in a larger, format.
