I kind of alternate the Independent and the I paper. They are both good, though the Independent sometimes does go a bit OTT with the 'doomed! We're all doomed!" stuff.

[Aaron.Bishop]

The Daily Mail.

[TelevisionUser]

I voted for the Independent because it is precisely that and because it has a very wide range of views and commentators. The Telegraph is also worth a look too for its business pages and for some commentators like the great Peter Oborne who's always worth reading.

[jasonjimbob]

I did vote for The Sun, but I like The Metro as well.

[HenryBane]

The i newspaper.

[cheesy_pasty]

The Daily Heil

[Mystical123]

I generally the Independent and Guardian, the latter particularly for its coverage and analysis of legal issues. The Telegraph is best for arts coverage, so I tend to read its theatre reviews etc. but not the rest of the paper.

The Daily Mail is good for getting a laugh out of the woeful quality of the journalism and the extrapolation of stories from nothing.

I wouldn't read the Sun or any other red-top if you paid me.

[BillyCasper]

It doesn't matter which paper you read, your opinion is still wrong

[Bathsheba]

I read the Independent at work. Why is it spelt Indepedant in the poll?

[Teddybleads]

The I and the FT but neither are listed here.

[kimotag]

The Indie, but I quite like the Times as well, despite it being part of Murdoch's 'evil empire'.

[zx50]

I like The Mirror best.

[levaniX]

Maybe, The Guardian is not the best, at least, this is the most sane newspaper in Britain, i can read. Along with The Morning Star, but content in the Guardian is much more interesting

And interesting, The Daily Mail is going to be both best and worst newspaper in Britain, at least, everyone knows Daily Mail's founder had some relationship with British Nazis..... or not? [trollface]

As if this forum will return a verdict of anything other than The Guardian.

[Thomas007]

Go the Grauniad, and the independant! Both doing very well, considering that they're some of the worst selling papers.

[benjamini]

The Hearald.

When I buy a newspaper I buy the Telegraph. I like the business section.

[Throgmorton1]

God I am pathetically shallow - I voted the Telegraph - but realistically - it's the crossword that swayed me.

[colin 38]

The "i" for me.

Sheesh! Why do we so often get pedants on these polls?

For many years The Indepedant was my favourite, but then I realised I wasn't as much of a pedant as I thought I was, and I switched to The Unsocialist Worker.

[SULLA]

I have voted for the Sun. It's a nice easy read

Why?

This place is infested with hysterical Daily Mail "stories" on a daily basis, I'd kind of expected this paper to come top. Maybe people do realise that Mickey Mouse journalism does not equal best...

I can't vote for the Guardian, I probably would have when I was a student but unfortunately the Guardian's agenda is - at times - as shockingly obvious and deliberately misinforming as the Mail. They're just much more subtle about it.

The Times for me - despite being Murdoch's.

[the_lostprophet]

The Telegraph (I only read the online version) especially for politics and finance blogs. I do read the Guardian online sometimes but it's kind of a lefty version of the Mail - completely biased so it's difficult to take seriously especially if you're older than undergraduate age. I like its culture section though - it's very good at the 'Arty' stuff (TV series blogs, theatre/ballet reviews etc).

Haha - I hadn't even read that before I posted but we're saying the same thing. Comment is Free is frankly hilarious in its blatant leftism - well the actual articles are - the comments BTL are usually far more informative/balanced than the articles themselves.

That's quite a morally pure, self-righteous Grauniad reader thing to say to be fair. I don't think the Telegraph demonises - you'd need to come up with some examples before you get away with that one.

The one thing I've noticed about Guardian readers in the BTL comments is their self-satisfied, hectoring nature. Does anyone actually know any in real life? Imagine hanging around with someone like that! I can honestly say I don't know anyone who buys the Guardian and is a loyal reader but then I suppose that's why it's doing so badly.
