Shakespeare that ain't!
Sadly, I haven't found our own American 'news' papers to be any better. Decades ago, newspapers held themselves to an extremely high standard of literary excellence, to the point that word usage in newspapers was frequently cited when evaluating and judging the 'correctness' of grammar and sentence structure. This is one of the things that has been lost in the news business, along with a dedication to objectivity.
It's sad to have to watch something die......although in many ways along with death comes a rebirth, at least in this context. Although bloggers and 'newmedia' sources will oftentimes have a specific point of view, they are (usually) quite open and proud about that, and they are often quite proper in their use of grammar.....frequently far more so than the 'major' papers, at least in my experience.
