The Daily Mail
37 Answers
Some ABers on the news section have been almost hysterical in their condemnation of the Daily Mail, even going so far as ridiculing and abusing anyone who dares to post a DM link with their question.
But recently I have noticed that DM links are becoming more the norm, they are even being used extensively by the 'Daily Mail Hate Brigade'.
Have they at last realised that if one wants to 'pack a punch' then there is only one paper that does so?

it was of 2 girls off Corrie, on Monday I think, Sophie and her girlfriend (in the programme) on holiday somewhere in bikinis looking pretty bloody fit. The comments were calling them fat, ugly, thick, slags, saying they should cover up and all kinds. I would happily say I hate people like that in the truest sense I know of the word hate!

<<why do people quote from it then, post links to it>>
it is what it is.
I don't think reading it is wrong - i do so myself occasionally.
as long as people realise it has an agenda which it pursues remorslessly (and often ludicrously and entertainingly) at the expense of honesty, accuracy and fairness.
For me and many others, honesty, accuracy and fairness are too important to sacrifice and the' entertainment' provided can project an inappropriate and damaging view of the world which is negative and misleading.

True
but the Mail and The Sun have a shameful record of people (often ordinary individuals not rich celebs) going to law to force retractions and apologies out of them.
There is a differrence between reporting bias and making stories up which the Mail does on a regular basis because its Hacks are briefed to produce particular 'Messages'.

do you work for the mail, or have insider information, and know exactly what the hacks are told to say and do, that they are so led by the nose, that they cannot make a move without the editor saying now you must be as rude, racist as you want, come on be fair.. I could buy any paper, but i rarely bother, most are bad news stories, because good news doesn't sell.

I know a few people who have worked as 'stringers' on The Mail.
There is a list of 'messages' that will always be well received by the editors (and therefore purchased;
immigrants given expensive houses; single mums behaving badly, etc etc anything that reinforces the 'country is going to the dogs' agenda.
Substantiated stories are preferred but they are infamous for not being over-fussy.

/// ive reported this for being in wrong section ///
First let inform you the 'news section' is the correct section to post this in, as it is appertaining to a NEWSpaper.
One person has suggested this should be in 'chatterbank', what would the good of that be, taking into account that it is directed at 'news section' posters?
/// i didnt mean i reported it in a mean way just did it so it doesnt clog news up ///
Then you went on to somehow excuse yourself, by saying "I didn't mean in I reported it in a mean way".
Is there any other way?
'Doesn't clog up the news' ??? That's rich, taking into account all the inappropriate, unnecessary, insignificant, and sometimes bitchy chat that regularly takes place on the news section.
