Perhaps, in the distant future if objective news reporting returns and is published without fear or favour then maybe. But since I doubt this will ever happen I'll have to rely on other means of gathering news - go offshore and leave the Treasure Island bandits to their own devices.
What, and miss all that fearless and oh-so-distinctive reportage and commentary?
Where else, one wonders, can you find Charles Bore on politics ("SamCam's bump - will it make the difference?"); Virginia Scrote on living in the country ("who are these beastly people spreading muck in my fields?"); Lionel Pimms on life in America ("Many of these people drive on the wrong side of the road, but I forgive them"); Milton J. Fastbuck on economics ("Keynes was really far-out, if you know what I mean"); or Radek Fiasco on war ("the wedding party was really a gathering of transvestite Al-Qaeda").
Er, everywhere.
On reflection, you're right, sod Murdoch and his pointless rags.
