You have one serious, albiet short on detail, news article about leftist controlled media ( and as Tim says, we dont have that problem here, lol!) and then all the other stuff is about who the rich and beautiful are doing these days. I thought reading the 'online' Mail might make me feel a little warm nostalgia for the old mother country....but nevermind. :-D
