A Website

There are a number of websites I visit everyday, however, I need to make a difference between social networking sites like gmail or facebook and tools like YouTube and The Guardian. In my case, The Guardian is the site I visit most for news. I can find out about both UK and international news plus lots of other interesting things related to arts and music. Nevertheless, I think I mainly use this page to keep up to date on news about football. The guardian has a great football section with up to the minute news on everything that's happening in the UK and around the world. One of my favourite sections is something called the "Rumour Mill". It's a page thats dedicated to giving a summary of all the rumours about football transfers in the British press so it's a complilation of what's said in all the newspapers on a particular day. It's very funny because it treats all the rumours as true although many of them are obviously untrue.
I also read a lot of international news as the Chilean press doesn't give good coverage to the things I'm interested in. The Guardian tends to give an ubbiased report on most things but I was very annoyed that they didn't cover the Mapuche hunger strikes last year. I actually wrote to them to ask why but got no reply. Obviously, the editorial board didn't think it worthy news, which is a pity because I presumed it was the type of news the Guardian readers would be interested in.
Still, nothing in this world is perfect!
