Newspaper readers

From Yes Minister via Theo Spark:

Jim Hacker:
Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers:
The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country;
The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country;
The Times is read by people who actually do run the country;
The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country;
The Financial Times is read by people who own the country;
The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country;
And the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.

Sir Humphrey:
Prime Minister, what about the people who read the Sun?

Bernard Woolley:
Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.





Yes Minister has many explanations for today's politics and I may quote from these occasionally from now on.
