I'm surprised no one thought of this sooner...I mean, A ) terrorists generally don't have women of this variety on hand, but if they did it's rather brilliant. And B ) Airport security has a bona fide excuse for examining the *ahem* chest area.

don't want to minimize this too much but isn't the Telegraph sort of the UK version of the National Enquirer only with batshit insane neo cons instead of UFOlogists?

Actually no, the Telegrah is one of the respected broadsheets. The Enquirer equivalent is the Sport - and also be very wary of Murdoch's trashy tabloids, The Sun, The Mail and The Mirror (and I think The News of the World has been cancelled now).

The Telegraph is the right-wing paper, so people like me don't exactly like it - but it's not a trash sheet.

I think News of teh world was directly implicated in that whole phone tapping scandal was it not? Anyway, I was half right about the Telegraph. In that it is right wing. My exposure to right wing media has largely been not much better than tabloid material so my mind made that leap automatically and perhaps unfairly. Thanks for the correction.

Now you're talking my language. It's the Tory paper, basically. The lefty one is the Guardian. And yeah - I don't know much but I do know a few things about the UK. xD Clint - been sitting on that picture for six months. It's about time you beat somebody at something.

I wouldn't like the Guardian any more. Any news outlet that has a political bias in it's reporting is pure poison IMHO. Understand that I am referring to it's reporting of news not it's editorial staff which can be safely ignored for the most part.
I usually cannot put the effort into seeing the way a source presents it's slant by not talking about something which is usually far more telling than what they do say.
Example, in Toronto a highly controversial (and vile) mayor was allegedly videotaped smoking crack. I say allegedly because the only people who have seen the video was his (alleged) dealers and the editor of the gawker.com (an internet tabloid) and 2 reporters from the Toronto Star. None of these folks procured the video but that didn't stop them from reporting on it. The smear campaign is three months and counting on this issue...without a scrap of proof.
Canadian news media is fit for the fucking dustbin now.

The nearest thing I've ever found to a news outlet without an agenda is BBC television news, but even then I don't exactly trust 'em!
