The difference is that, even with tits on the front page and the occasional hysterical headline, they still do journalism in Britain. There are at least four, and I think it's up to seven, daily newspapers in London. Is there a city in the US with more than two papers (there're three in NYC, but one's the Post, so.....)? I live in the second largest city in the US (well, in the burbs...) and there is one paper. There is a second if you count the OC Register, but it's focus is just OC, and it's barely becoime a newspaper again after decades of being a pamphlet for the Birch Society (with a REALLY good funnies section!) :) And almost none of them practice journalism anymore; they specialize in stenography, with a slight bias to whichever side they 'favor'.
