On paper, the Guardian is the worst I've seen,

The Grauniad is good for an insight into the left leaning "progressive" mindset just as the Times / Telegraph / Daily Mail / Express give insights into the right leaning / Royalist viewpoint. The Guardian owners must be suffering somewhat financially having just sold off the similarly left leaning Observer.

I skim both daily, as they are available on the Readly subscription platform I use mainly for magazines. The POV of some of the Guardian columnists (Polly Toynbee for one) comes across as dilusional & it is difficult to give them any sense of credibility. I would prefer the Times or Telegraph for a less sensationalist right leaning approach to the Express, but both of those hide behind paywalls. The Daily Mail likewise, but that isn't much more than celebrity-led gossip for light entertainment of the easily entertained. The other tabloid red-tops are not really fit for much more than wrapping fish & chips IMO.

Mrs B still looks in on Politico for background - recommended reading when she worked in Policy for a government department before retirement. She used to get a daily round-up of items of interest from all the UK papers produced for govenment departments.

I don't have much experience of US newspapers beyond USA Today & that only because it seemeed to be given away quite widely. No idea how that leans, but just like to have a look to get some kind of idea of local news when I am staying in an area - adverts can be interesting to compare cost of living items etc. I can be easily entertained !

I guess the trick with modern media is to try and work out which angle they are coming from & then look for the same story from a source that comes from another direction for a different take. The reality of a situation probably lives somewhere between the two views - maybe.

BBC ? Not got much time for them & resent having to pay them the licence fee. Certainly don't believe their impartiality claims & find most of their news coverage rather shallow - Channel 4 seems to do news better.
