Maybe its become “americanised” because they are appealing to a new core audiernce, as so many Americans are reading it!

I think you’re absolutely right. The Guardian readers are furious with Americans for taking over their online rag. We rightwingers often go there through Drudge, make comments, and infuriate the truly lowlife Brits who gather there. I’m mean low-life Guardian readers, not all of the British!

Americans seem to be taking over most British Newspaper’s online sections. Is the American press really that bad?

Well, they’re in the tank for Obama. The newspapers are mostly liberal and won’t print anything bad about Obama. The British press - not liking ANYTHING about America, lol, do not defer to him as much (well, maybe the Guardian does...) So we all go over to the Daily Mail to see what they’re saying.
