Anyway on the main point of the article it is interesting how are right wing press does much better in the states than our left wing press. It also does affect the commercials on advertsing revenue a paper can generate. A Uk visitor to a Uk paper is worth much more thna an american visitor to a Uk paper, so 62 % of the mails potentail advertsing reveneue is low value. Or you could spin it on its head and say the mail returns 5,000,000 extra visitors it can generate some reveneue on, which they would not otherwise have.

I see your name is Jon from your email address. How about using that instead? “Richard” – it would be easier to take your comments seriously if you weren’t obviously pretending your name is richard sharpe to link to your richard-sharpe-books website on a dofollow blog.
