Re: The Spectator
As part of my 'ignoring mainstream media' phase, I tend not to read any such publications. I find no benefit in reading things which stir up negative emotions and provide no useful side effects (increased knowledge etc...)
However, it did have an article on the Swedish education system, so I read that. I find the Spectator to be the right-wing version of the New Statesman.
On the whole however, I must say that it's somewhat better than other thigns on the net such as the Devil Kitchen blog, or whatever it's called. I read one post on that and it was possibly the worst thing I've ever read. Completely up its own arse and with less considered criticism than a copy of the Sun.*
*yes, it really was that bad.
