Best newspaper website...

doing a work about English (the language, not the country) newspapers... the assignment is just to check out the news and see what the differences are from the Swedish ones... and also just to know what is happening in English spoken countries... so what is the one site you can recommend me?

The best english language news site is http://news.bbc.co.uk , but it's a tv station website rather than a newspaper.

If it has to be a newspaper website then http://www.guardian.co.uk/ would be the best.

Bush Disappointed To Learn Chinese Foreign Minister Doesn't Know Karate
WASHINGTON, DC�While he still plans to meet with Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing, President Bush was disappointed to learn that the dignitary does not know karate, White House adviser Karl Rove told reporters Tuesday. "I told George that karate is an ancient martial art of Japan, not China," Rove said. "I told him that in China, many practice kung fu�but I recommended that he stick to the more vital issue of relations with Taiwan and North Korea." In spite of Rove's suggestion, Bush plans to ask Zhaoxing to "do some of that Jackie Chan action."

It does have ads for pr0n sites sometimes, but the ads aren't in themselves pornographic. I don't understand why you'd have to be 18+

Corporate Offices are in NYC. They have offices in Denver, Chicago, Milwaukee, and Madison though.

I believe that originally, it started as a publication in Madison, WI.
