I thought you'd already dumped us, America.

But seriously, what is going on with this article? And I wouldn't say it's been a persistent theme in news coverage - it was shitty, but I'm pretty sure it hasn't been mentioned in a while.

Go on, bugger of with China. /sob

It's cause American conservatives tend to hold up editorials in the Telegraph and Daily Mail to go "LOOK! THIS IS WHAT BRITISH PEOPLE THINK OF US", and most of them are too clueless to realize that's like holding up Fox News and Rush Limbaugh in Britain to represent all of America.

It's almost as dumb as when people cite the website pravda.ru, thinking it's the old newspaper Pravda.

Ah, good to see that our most quality news sources are seem on the other side of the pond (I should've twigged this when I realised that all the avaliable UK newspapers on my Kindle were right-wing). Paying far too much attention to twats like Hannan by the sound of it.

Sometimes I think people will never be able to distinguish between shitty tabloids and actual newspapers, sadly.

The Torygraph isn't that bad, really - I prefer it to the Times when getting a right wing perspective on things, at least.

Nah, it's pretty decent compared to the other right-wing newspapers. I have to admit that I do occasionally read it online if I'm looking for a less Guardianista point of view on matters.

I find the Times to be a confusing political clusterfuck most of the time. At least with the Torygraph you know where you stand.

The Times on both sides of the Atlantic are a confusing political clusterfuck, with the New York Times only leaning slightly left instead of right.
