The Beano by preference. Failing that Socialist Worker. Just as funny, but not such good pictures.

Private Eye and i've just got a copy of Negative Reaction 11, which is a good read. Ask me nicely and i might tell you where to get a copy!!!
On the down side i read The Sun at work today (somebody left it on a table) and OK magazine! Then i switched my brain back on and went back to work.

Aw shucks! Aye it's amazing that the Sun hates the working class yet where are ya most likely to find one? At work! Some people have no self respect!
The Sun hates the working class, yet it's readership is mainly made up of which social class?
Exactly the point i was trying to make!

I read everything when i can get my hands on it, it depends. I very rarely buy papers except the Northern Echo which I get delivered everyday except sunday (so it don't feel like i buy it). I pick up most papers on the train.

So many particulars. So many questions.

Private Eye doesn't make much of a secret of the fact that it's written by a bunch of chippy ex public school kids, does it? As opposed to papers which pretend they're not written by a bunch of non-chippy ex public school kids.

Is it? I gave up on it about a year ago because they couldn't get an issue out on until the following day.

I used to like the website lists on a Saturday:
Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist)
Communist Party of Britain (Reform Communist)
Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (Marxist-Leninist)
More Revolutionary Communist Party of Britain (Neo Maoist Faction)
Communist Party of Great Britain
And so on.

Guardian and PI - sometimes the FT, and even the Mail (occasional good editorial).
By and large try to get a good spread though.

Yes but what part of the Sun do people read? It's not patronising to say that some people get it just for the sport pages, that's what I noticed people reading when I was working in places with the Sun.
Can't be arsed walking down to the newsagent so just read the Economist which my family has a subscription to, quite like the science and book reviews and it's generally a good read (apart from the aphorisms about markets and growth they shove in at the end of the articles). Browse things online like the Spectator and Monbiot's columns. Buy Private Eye sometimes, more for the cartoons than anything else, don't worry about its class position, it doesn't seem too important really.

When i read the Sun yesterday i read, or looked at, Keeley on Page 3, Dear Deidre (to make myself feel better) and the footy gossip. Theres nothing else in it and thats enough to fill my 15 minute break.
On a daily basis, from the UK (both in English), the Guardian and Observer, from the US (all in English), NY Times, NY Sun, NY Post, NY Daily News, from Israel, Ma'ariv (Hebrew), Yehidot Ahranot (Hebrew), Jerusalem Post (English), and ("Palestinians") Chronicle (Arabic), and Filasteen (Arabic), from Egypt al Ahram (Arabic). In the Philippines, the only regular reading for me is the "Sun" chain (regional papers) all in English. I soemtimes also read in my halting Visayan, the local rag whose title I do not even bother to internalise. All daily and also from time to time other periodicals as well.
On a weekly basis I rerad, from the States, The Jewish Press (English), Der Algenheimer (Yiddish), and the Daily Forward (English, since they stopped the Yiddish Edition).
Magazine wise, the only regular reading is the English language edition of the National Geographic and when I can find it, which is generally very rarely since I am based in the Philippines( but travel frequently) is "Q" from the UK, like it alot, great reading for flights and what not.
The newspapers are usually online only due to the travel and scarcity in the Philippines (I usually live on Mindanao, deep out in the bush), but I do try to scarf hardcopies of the NY Times wherever and whenever possible due to the great disparity between the print and online editions.
I am definitely a news hound.

Given the amount of news you read, you'd think you'd have a less biased view of the world.
