Both papers are designed to be read by those who have no desire to question anything.

Not really... that's a bit far fetched.

I gave up reading newspapers some years back and now get my news from Private Eye and other such paper and online publications.
Bongo-you are so right, those newspapers are for people who don't want to "learn" anything. Its very scary when you see how they manipulate public opinion and you hear the results in the same old tired conversations in shops, on buses, everywhere between people who have become totally brainwashed by what they read.
Phew! That's better.

Boris: Did you notice all those years that the Sun was supporting Labour? All the way from 1997 to 2009.

That wasn't Labour, that was a hybrid centrerist derivative called 'New Labour'. Designed especially for fools that read The Sun and Daily Fascist

I really am warming to you Cheeky Monkey, I rely on only those sources too. But I can't help sympathising with that chap who wrote to PE a couple of issues ago, cancelling his subscription because the constant litany of corruption & greed in business and politics is just all too depressing to keep up with.
