It's actually a pretty good newspaper. I've never run across a tabloid that wasn't a rag, to be honest...let's face it, people buy them for the sports news and to maybe look at some half-dressed women.<BR/>Bottom line, I was just looking to write about a topic that didn't involve the palestupidians, the morons at the EU or the other usual fare.<BR/>The funny thing is that Canadians and Australians are absolutely alike in about 99 per cent of ways and it's a shame when a paper like the Telegraph tries to harm that relationship by imposing terms such as "dumb Canadians" so that it can make a few bucks.southfield_2001https://www.blogger.com/profile/12377814431642627185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1466799064761687361.post-7824951804138274542007-05-19T14:07:00.000-07:002007-05-19T14:07:00.000-07:00The Daily Telegraph is out of my reach as I live i...The Daily Telegraph is out of my reach as I live in Melbourne. No doubt it is a rag, it is part of the News Ltd stable owned by Rupert Murdoch. He owns just about everything and probably most of the Media in Canada, I'm not sure on that one. The fact is that I read the Australian newspaper, yes another News Limited publication which is actually extremely good quality. I can only assume that in the pursuit of profit the market dictates what is published in any newspaper. As for the Australian, I'm pretty sure that it is subsidized (I don't think it makes any money) by Rupert Murdoch for reasons known only to himself.Lexcenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17856993035719777231noreply@blogger.com
