From Mr Jose A. Lopez.

Sir, I was having a conversation with my father-in-law (who used to work in the City) about the general dumbing down of the press in Britain. I brought to his attention that one of the reasons that the only paper I read is the FT is precisely because it is the kind of newspaper that deals primarily with news and ignores the celebrity-trash issues that infect the British press (broadsheets included) from time to time. I went so far as to bet that your paper would not have any mention of Jade Goody on its front page this Monday.
