The Best Damn Newspaper In The English Language

Here's a contest: Name the best damn newspaper, in your opinion, published in English. (Specify whether you're referring to the online edition, the "hard copy" version, or both.)

My nomination: The UK's Guardian, "hard copy" version. It puts our American dailies to shame.

Well-written, color photos on every page (and great photography, too); a science and technology section pullout, complete with several pages of website reviews; the occasional Sidney Blumenthal column, political cartoons by Steve Bell – what more could you ask for? If I had a daily paper in Northern California like this, I’d be in hog heaven.
