Pick just about any country, and the most popular newspaper are of the Daily Mail variety, the most popular TV channels are those serving entertainment pablum and so on. The biggest newspaper in Germany is Bild Zeitung. Not sure about France but I am pretty sure it is not Le Monde. Following the fall of communism in Eastern Europe 20 years, the newfound freedoms have been most evidently manifested in an explosion of celebrity magazines, soft porn and similar forms of entertainment. But there is still a large enough group of people who are interested in serious issues. I mean, Le Monde exists, El Pa?s exists, NYT is still there, The Economist has no celebrity news and so on. I actually hope that Murdoch's experiment with charging for all his web content is successful.
