They're all balls. Scouring the net, picking and choosing between them online and other sources is the only way of getting enough truth to form your own opinions.

Plus some (like me) work in our bubble of all sorts of social-economic data (including non-public access data) and regular meetings and conversations with businesses and policy makers - sometimes in the position of seeing a company or policy maker in the newspaper just before a scheduled meeting with them and getting to hear about all the non-disclosable issues which didn’t make the news and would completely change the message presented in the press.

A journalist's job is to sell newspapers and not the truth.

The old adage "never let the truth get in the way of a good story" is probably more true now than ever.

Daily Mail/Express are the only news papers that deliver the truth and that's why I read them.

I wasn’t doubting you read the Express, but thanks for showing us a snippet of your wank den.
