Yep, they're terrible. It's sad to think that papers like The Sun, The Daily Sport and The News of the World have the highest circulations in the UK.

It's even sadder when programs like "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here" have the highest viewing figures in the UK.

>it seems like each day they have women in revealing clothes.

It's a selling point. Although the Daily Mail have taken the opposite tack and make it a selling point to be outraged by anything and everything that has a sexual connotation.

>It just seems like the reporting over here is a lot different than in the U.S. (although I heard the Guardian is better than most newspapers, although I have yet to pick one up).

If you want to read a "proper" newspaper, then avoid the rags and stick to the broadsheets. I read the Guardian and the Scottish Herald.
