====== British Newspapers ======

[[The United Kingdom]] has a vast array of newspapers, none of which are entirely free from editorial bias. In order that foreigners may understand how the system works, the much-cited passage from //Yes Minister// is here quoted:

Prime Minister Jim Hacker: 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 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 Woolley: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.
