The answer to your question is; VF customers are mostly older American, who are typically more experienced and patriotic. The main stream media cters to younger more stupid customers, who are culturally engineered by the PC public education system.
Where on earth did VF get its name? Sounds like a gay fashion mag.
You may be right, but my experience with the mag was that it was a, how do I put it, neo-royalist rag, a stuffier version of People mag, adulating Eurotrash nobility and sleazy financiers. Maybe those were just the cover stories...
BTW, I saw some Brit papers use the term Eurotrash recently, so I guess they're not taking it anymore as a description of all Euros.
