I guess you'd have to understand the mentality of the London Free Press... right picture a paper that disaproves of everything that doesn't go on in a seniors residence or that doesn't support a "traditional agenda" (think Norman Rockwell) and you essentially have the paper's thrust over the last decade and a half.

They have attacked pretty much everyone and everything that doesn't fit into their small little world of the Rockwellian painting - they don't bother to look any deeper than the surface, nor do they try to acknowledge that there might be other views or even realities... think of a paper run by Rumsfeld, with his "golly gees" and such as a journalistic medium,
