    So it publishes the ravings of an assh*le like Waters (who is the epitome of the description above, much as he trys to scream that he is not).

    The IT is by far and away the best paper in the country, with foreign news from it's own correspondents, the entire spectrum of political thought and analysis given a forum, (contrary to what FFers think), fantastic arts and literature coverage, and an understanding of what is real news.

    Everything from the ignorant idiocy of Myers to the iconoclasm of Newton Emerson is published, and not a sign of the cringe inducing, false indignation of that ghoul Ger Colleran. Every single person in this country would find a lot to agree with and a lot to disagree with in the IT.

    As an avid newspaper reader, I read papers from around the world on the internet every day. The Independent in the UK, NY Times, Washington Post are all worth a daily look.

    The Examiner has come on a lot in recent times and is worth reading most days.

    On Sundays, I still get the Tribune, but will probably give it up soon. It has being going downhill for a while now, and shows no sign of recovery.

    Independent in the UK & Guardian have handy internet sites.

    Irish Tribune has actually improved a lot in last year but still too much Rubgy coverage...

    I'd only really buy the Times, nothing else detains me for more than about 10 minutes. Sunday papers are universally awful.
    We're not arrogant, we're just better.

    For us poor blighters not living in the home country.
    you've got to have the Stanit! Evening Standard that is.
    Miss the simplex crossword in the Irish Times.
    But these days I mostly read it all on the beeb website.

    I occasionally randomly buy the Times or the Indo, and read the Sunday Tribune as it's at home, though I don't think much of it. I've read most of the rest, and wouldn't give you the time of day for them.
