Originally posted by wurzel View PostIs it my imagination or is The Times about the most pro Labour rag at the moment? I've read it a few times recently and I get the impression they are somewhat reluctant to stick the knife in where all the other papers are having a go. Other than that I find it a real yawn, though the Sunday Times is a good read.
Personally I prefer the Telegraph but if that's not available, I'd have the Independent or the Guardian over the Times any day - they at least have strong opinions and are not afraid to voice them.
The Sun wheeled out Mystic Meg and Andy McNabb the other week to persuade people to vote Tory, FFS. Now there's desperation to get the "Sun Wot Won It" headline againIf you have to add a , it isn't funny. HTH. LOL.Comment

Originally posted by The Wikir Man View PostI don't read the Times, but I would think that with the tory lead receding, they want to slowly drift away from the rest of the Murdoch press who have been so blatant in predicting a Tory landslide.

Originally posted by HairyArsedBloke View PostI cannot see this working in the UK. There are far too many non-charging sites at the moment for it to gain a hold. The Times has no USP, like the FT or the SJ, for it to ever work. I find the updates less frequent that the other newspaper sites.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

I only read the Times Online after reading the following (in order): Granuiad, Torygraph, BBC, CUK, NYTimes, Google News, porn sites, Dilbert, CUK again, tech/geek sites, other porn sites, more CUK and then the Times... The Baltic Times that is - Latvia's leading paper (probably).
So, no Rupert, I won't be paying.
Having said that, it is better than most for allowing nut jobs to comment on virtually any article.Comment

How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

Yeah, I can't see charging for access working. I enjoy reading The Times when it is about but I can't see anything to be loyal about there. You'll get the same coverage and quality in the three other broadsheets websites with a slightly different political filter.
I just can't imagine the kind of person who would go ahead and pay for it. It's just not niche enough. No loyalty.Comment
