James Hacker:
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 the people who think the country should be run by another country. And the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.
Sir Humphrey Appleby:
Prime Minister, what about the people who read the Sun?
Bernard Woolley:
The Sun readers don’t care who runs the country, as long as she’s got big tits.
The Telegraph is probably one of the blandest news sources on the web. I’ve never once heard them described as “extreme,” in any sense.
Yes, you have.
Then you have not been paying attention.
