Oh do shut up. I've posted countless articles from the Telegraph in praise of George W. Bush and what he is doing. You choose to focus on 2 articles from the paper that don't say what you want. Well, what is it, you want the Telegraph to be an editorially independent newspaper, even if that puts the proverbial burr under your saddle, or should it just ring you up before it says anything?

Yes, the Telegraph is a very conservative newspaper. Indeed, it is.
To suggest otherwise, is nonsensical. I've been on liberal boards and said I was a DT reader and have been classed as a 'nazi' for reading same.
Do I like this article? No. But ~shrugging my shoulders~ over all, the Telegraph has been consistently supportive of the war on Iraq --- WELL BEFORE TROOPS WERE DEPLOYED, and well before other news media organs decided 'which way to jump' on the matter.
I'm in Ireland, and the Sunday Independent is the closest thing to the DT published in my country. In that I will see Gene Kerrigan giving me a liberal slant on an issue, and on the same page see Alan Ruddock lambaste him with good conservative ethic.
Nothing wrong with that.
After all, we are not sheep (at least, I hope we are not).
Pukka, if your critical thought lies on the basis of one article, I'm dismayed.
And besides...WHERE does everyone get off in not realising that this is a British newspaper, writing essentially to a British audience?
Friends, anyone who chooses to take lumps out of Allies does not see a bigger picture. It's like a cat fight in a gay bar!!!
The Daily Telegraph, is NOT the enemy. Believe me!
