Ok well there's quite a few options there for Tim to "explain himself" with, isn't there, Az

Is Tim really worth all this kerfuffle?

A newspaper is a newspaper. 

Constantly denigrating one that only prints what you want to hear makes it a newsletter, and you perhaps more than obsessive.

Or is a fact only a fact if you agree with it?

Everyone knows The Daily Telegraph and the Herald Sun are rubbish newspapers.

The Daily Telegraph have to give their newspapers away for FREE to try and get people to read them... in fast food joints, hairdressers etc.

They thrive on sensational 'click bait' headlines and stories full of fluff and very litle if any substance to them.

Why are they rubbish? Is that because you don't like what they print? And I believe that fast food "joints" have a range of newspapers for their patrons, are they all rubbish too? Or only the one's you don't like?

Fast food joints, hairdressers etc ONLY have the Daily Telegraph ( and probaby Sunday one as well, don't know never go there on Sundays) where I live.

Donated FREE by the publisher. What avg cost hairdresser is going to BUY 2 or 3 different newspapers for their customers to browse while waiting.

Most hairdressers aren't open on Sundays.

Blast! Lead balloon.

And btw, hairdressers I've been to have magazines, not newspapers.
