I'd say you['re] rather unusual if you trust something you have no
regard for.


Dear me.

Money spent on high production values - the best designers,
the best paper, fewer advertisements - the things by which
it appears superficial people such as yourself judge print
media has no bearing on whether or its trustworthy or not.

All such things tell anyone is that the publishers are willing
to spend a lot of money, possibly more than their competitors
are able to afford, in order to persuade their readers that
they can indeed be trusted.

If such superficial but expensive things - good design, good
paper, fewer advertisements didn't sell more copies then
publishers wouldn't spend all that money on them would they ?

Which is totally divorced from whether they can be trusted
or not.

You just have to be trolling. I can't seriously believe that
anyone can be so naive as you're pretending to be.

Oh and I've just read, which I didn't realise, that Cleese voted
"leave" in the referendum. Another rat making for the exit
then.

Poor old Cleese really jumped the shark after Fawlty a true
masterpiece, which could never be bettered. He should have
seriously considered a change of direction at that point IMO
as Palin managed to do. Either that or got killed in a car crash,
ideally driving into a tree having swerved to avoid a toddler
who'd run out into the road.
