If I Quit The Times, What Do I Buy?

And bear in mind I am not half so clever and "aware" as most of you lot!

It's not the paper it was (cheers, Rupe) but I find the Indy a bit dry, the Guardian, well, I tried and tried many years ago but it's just too intense....and the Telegraph? Well, it campaigns and the sport is excellent, but people who have duck moats and Lear jets buy it, so...?

(loving how the Simpsons have parodied the Fox Network and Rupe as being an evil Empire for years now-and he probably quite likes it!)
