Does Britain have the worst journalism in the world ?

by reiverman @ 06/04/2008 - 23:26:32

Following the Express admitting to spewing out a load of lies about the McCanns, is it a fact that most British journalism is appalling bad ?
When you think about the balls of slime like Richard Littlejohn, Piers Morgan, Kelvin Mckenzie etc that our newspaper industry has produced it doesn't say much for the rest of them.
The likes of the The Sun, the Daily Wail, Star etc seem to survive on negativity, sensationalism and scaremongering.
They seem to have power without responsibility.
And the low quality seems to have spread to TV and so called quality newspapers as well.
But ultimatley is it our
fault for buying this rubbish ?

And that is without the obsession for mindless celebrity "culture" that infests the British media.
