Yeah, Fox only qualifies as dense in one sense.  Your reasons are the same as mine for the Economist.  I hold my nose and read it for the diamonds in the dung hill.  I especially appreciate their international coverage.  Been reading it off and on since 1965, when I read all coverage from 1919 to 1924 on the "French Occupation of the Rhur" for a grad seminar.  Topic was Reaction of British Quality Press to.... So I also got familiar with the Nation, the Observer and others.  Certainly don't read it cause I agree with their views.

If sanity be culturally normative, then by the norms of this culture I claim insanity.
