Whilst I am a great admirer of all (well, many) things American, this is one thing that we Brits have over the Americans. Our press is still genuinely investigative and pluralistic. The American press is servile and manages to be both sensationalist and boring at the same time. Even ‘the Guardian’ still does good stuff occasionally, like exposing what GCHQ and the NSA was doing when no American newspaper would touch it.
I hope it will remain thus, but I have my doubts because once the Royal Charter on the press comes into effect in 2015 as a result of the recent hacking scandal, the press might start acting in a more subdued manner...

I read the UK Mail everyday to find out what is going on here.
