Guardian -- the Bible of British liberals -- is doing the same. The invention of the railways , enabled newspapers to be printed in London and distributed nationally in time to be on breafast tables throughout the country, British newspapers have been locked in mortal combat ever since. With the Internet, that competitiveness is gradually spreading beyond Britain's shores through the whole English-speaking world. I mostly disagree with The Guardian's editorial viewpoints, but I welcome the chance to learn what the other side is thinking . After all, I already know what I think. British newspapers tend to be to more openly partisan than those in the US, because the wide diversity of choice on every newsstand means that they don't feel as obliged to be as dispassionate as a one-town monopoly newspaper in the US. Circulation is king.
