My experience of reading English newspapers:
1) Best: Reuters
2) Cool: The Guardian, NewYorkTimes, USAToday...
3) A bit weird: IndianExpress, Macao English newspapers...

What is your opinions? Click the link above to taste it. Perhaps the names of Indian people are unfamiliar to me and make me upset about the rest of "Good English".

I don't see anything wrong with their use of English, with the sole exception of talking about a celebrity who posed for a shot with a kitten dressed as an angel. One could be excused for thinking that they meant that the kitten was dressed as an angel, rather than the celebrity. This is the kind of minor error that journalists who are native-speakers routinely make.

@Setanta,

How about those Indian names? Good English seems to be overwhelmed by the strange long monickers.

I have no opinion about your bigotry against Indian names, other than that it is bigotry. Are those names stranger that Chinese names would be if you were to substitute those?
