What is this thing 'Press Reader'?

Is it a news collation service?

Interesting site, but the problem with the report that you have linked to is that it's doesn't name any sources.

It's a series of statements without context.

You can get an app for Press Reader. It takes news from all sources.
Question Author
The article was from the Daily Mail, headlined "Confessions of a Brussels insider"
Scottish Daily Mail.

Hmmm...I'm going to write a sentence, and is like you to say whether you agree or disagree with it.

Here goes...

The Daily Mail Group publishes papers that give a balanced view on EU matters, without any bias, allowing it's readers to make up their own minds about content.

Sorry sp but I'm not going to get into the Daily Mail bashing.
sadly for sp hes nowhere near as smart as he likes to think he is....

You don't need to.

You just need to say whether you trust the Daily Mail to report on EU matters without any bias.

No need to bash them if that's what you think.

Do you?

Almost every newspaper is bias about the eu. The DM is as biased as the Guardian (tax dodgers!) and other left wing papers. I read it because it has investigative journalists who have won many awards, have successfully pioneered on many issues and is not afraid to refute all this cr?p coming out of Downing Street.
I would steer clear of 'tax dodgers' as a sobriquet to describe the Guardian.

Lord Rothermere (the owner of the Daily Mail) enjoys 'non-dom' status, which he inherited from his father, who lived for most of his life in France.

However, the current Lord Rothermere, actually lives in Britain, but of course - pays the tax of a non-dom.

The Daily Mail and General Trust are owned through a Bermudan company (and a series of offshore trusts) so that the principal beneficiary, the “non-domiciled” Lord Rothermere, can avoid tax on his income from the group.

But I totally agree with you that every newspaper has an agenda, and many will present 'facts' a way that dovetails most neatly with the political views of their readership.

They absolutely have to do this to survive. We may be one of the last generations who actually pay for news!
Nice try in attempting to deflect from the left wing rag by discussing others sp.

Take a look at this, the Grundian is up to its necks in tax avoidance.

All perfectly legal, just as all the other revalations, except for all the hypocracy of the liberal left.

Do as I saynot aas I do springs to mind
Why am I not surprised!

My actual post Was about the EU bribing organisations to tell the world what they want them to hear. WWF, European Trade Union, Friends of the Earth and many more. This is our money don't forget.
lindapalmara

But do you have a link to the original story in the Scottish Daily Mail?

There will be more detail in that report. The link you have is to a news aggregator, so we only have the broad strokes.

I see your Spectator, and raise you Private Eye:

https://beastrabban.wordpress.com/2015/04/10/private-eye-on-daily-mails-hypocrisy-over-tax-avoidance/

Hypocrisy all round?
sp1814

You at your old game again, this thread is about the EU not about certain newspapers.
AOG

But the story has no context!

Who is the Brussels insider?

How much money is dispersed?

Are other organisations also funded?

Are we going to take this report at face value without any analysis?
