Questions

Most of the best selling newspapers in the UK are red tops, but in the USA, it's the broadsheet ones. Apparently, the Brits are not that into broadsheets that tend to be intellectual, while the american people are more into serious stuff. Any idea?

( PS: Aren't the English fellows supposed to be a tad more serious than the Americans ? )

Answer
At the same time though, American news channels on TV are a lot like Bitish tabloids (Fox News, MSNBC and that...) whereas British TV news tends to be more serious.

I guess it comes down to tradition and how people tend to get their news.

What are the most popular comedy or talk show radio programs in United States?

I know of a lot popular UK radio programes such as just a minute, now show, news quiz, dad's army, etc, some of which has been around for decades.

But I can't remember any similar US radio programs like these.
So, I will be very thankful if anyone can fill me in with this knowledge.

Thank you very much.

Answer
OMG!

I just made a list of TV shows! You should've stopped me!
Anyway... Radio? It's mostly music, but this is what I know:

Prairie Home Companion
Anything on National Public Radio
Howard Stern
Bubba the Love Sponge
???

Howard Stern and Bubba are pretty vulgar, but some people think it's funny.
Radio Talk bores me. I wonder if that is somehow telling about my intelligence or attention span.

I realize that the Liberal Democrats became particularly popular because of the neoconservative tendencies of Tony Blair, but other than that and a dispute about the importance of civil liberties, what do the LibDems and Labour have against each other?

Answer
Sheer lust for power however it is achieved and the usual Tory total disdain for the will of the electorate.

What percentage of meat in the UK is intensively/factory farmed?

What percentage of meat is factory farmed?

Is this meat just sold to companies/manufacturers and supermarkets?
How popular is 'free range' meat in the UK? Is there a percentage of 'free range' against 'factory' farms?

Statistics on how much grain is needed to feed the animals, compared to how much grain could be used elsewhere would be useful too.

Answer
there is no such thing as a factory farm. do some research on things like C.A.F.O's.....and if you would actually spend some time at what you're referring to as a factory farm...you'll see why whatever liberal source of media you're getting your news from has no clue what they are talking about
