What newspapers do you read

Very old joke answers to the question who reads which papers:

* The Times: Read by the people who run the country.
* Daily Mirror: Read by the people who think they run the country.
* Guardian: Read by the people who think they ought to run the country.
* Morning Star: Read by the people who think the country ought to be run by another country.
* Daily Mail: Read by the wives of the people who own the country.
* Financial Times: Read by people who own the country.
* Daily Express: Read by the people who think that the country ought to be run as it used to be.
* Daily Telegraph: Read by the people who think it still is.
* The sun: read by people who don't care who runs the country as long as she ... (complete for yourself).

Heh.

I tend to read The Independent...

I alternate between the Independant and the Guardian.

I live in Madison, home of The Onion, so of course, being the hippy-pinko-liberal that I am, it is my duty to read it.

For real news, I read The Washington Post or Wisconsin State Journal mostly for the NY Times crosswords and the various other games inside.
