One of the funniest exchanges in a British sitcom, from 'Yes, Prime Minister'. Sir Humphrey: The only way to understand the press is to remember that they pander to their readers' prejudices. PM Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers: the Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; the Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; the Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; the Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country; and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is. Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read the Sun? Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big t**s.
