Question What newspaper do you read?

What newspaper do you read or would read if you were given a free choice?

Also if you want to post why that would be interesting too

The Times.....I like the sports coverage (they believe all sports are equal, including rugby league!), sudoku, and overall spread of world, national and local news.

The Independant

The Sun is possibly the worst "paper" on the planet - Vitriolic right wing, reactionary, sensationalist untruths every single day. But then what else would you expect from a paper owned by Murdoch - His entire media empire is a mouthpiece for his political views, basically.

It is frightening that millions of people base thier understanding of issues on what is printed in that Newspaper.

I read the Mail...with tongue firmly in cheek. Used to read the Telegraph but not enough time to get through it.

Exactly - I thought there would be far more votes for it in NSR

Indeed I think if you don't read it then you must be one of those PC loony lefty contingent

I used to read the Indy for its unbiased coverage, but it's so dull. Now read the Telegraph

I used to read The Sun but grew bored with its low detailed information, so moved on to the Mail as the detail was more (specifically in the financial and sport pages) but i have to agree with Nat about its racist views and its anger inticing reports. So time for another change then, but what to ?
