British daily newspapers (quality papers)

Hi, besides finance I am very interested in journalism. not so much professionally actually, but still quite interested in it. As I am from continental Europe, I was wondering whether some of you would like to share their thoughts on British daily quality newspapers (Times, Daily Telegraph, Independent and Guardian). Which one do you prefer and why? and is the daily telegraph more conservative than the times? and is the guardian more left-wing than the independent? and is the independent really the politically most neutral/objective one?
and how would you compare top american daily newspaper (e.g. the new york times or the washington post) with british newspapers?

thank you very much for any opinions/ shared knowledge

 

If you want to despair at humanity, read the guardian. It's more socialist that the communist manifesto, Torygraph is the a bit right wingy. Independent and the Times are up there, with the times providing more commentary on a wider range of issues. However they're all good for stories and sports results, nothing more. The only quality journalism is the pink one, the FT.

 

The only paper I read is The Economist. That way I do not need to spend every day reading news I don't care about. BTW, I loath the WSJ.
