I'd pay £100 a month to destroy ALL of the mainstream simpleton-press. All of it. Rags, TV, online.

Sounds quite elitist. Democracy isn't elitist.

I probably am an elitist but I also believe democracy is the best system we have. People should just have to take an IQ test before they're allowed to vote

Yes, an IQ test. Because if they don't share your point of view TS, they're obviously a bit dim.

I made absolutely no allusion to what the outcome of such a vote would be, Livia. I have no automatic assumption that it would go "my way". I still think it would be far more likely to result in a meaningful (deliberated, not media-lead) outcome.

Then again I also believe that we should have an elected meritocracy, with only people who are at the absolute top of their field even allowed to run for government positions in the first place. Instead of the relentless cronyism we're currently stuck with, that places slack-jawed inbreds at the head of almost every government branch...

Nope. I used to enjoy reading it but I am sick of the ridiculous bias that seems prominent in all papers at the moment. I wish just one would report fairly...is this too much to ask?!

The problem is that you only have two options... papers that are run for profit, and papers that are funded by the government / other political interests. Neither is ever going to present fair, impartial, or even accurate news.
