The Daily Mail
Why is it that some people on AB refer to Daily Mail readers in a scarcastic and condescending manner?
My parents get the DM and it is packed full of the latest news and has a great letters page. My mother in law gets The Mirror. It is very thin and the same sort of news items are covered but in a more simplistic manner. Both papers tend to slag off the government. The letters page is very poor too in The Mirror.
I believe this AB site is an offshoot of The Daily Mail.

This is from the Phrases and Quotes board. Thing it sums it up nicely (originally from 'Yes Minister'):
Jim Hacker: "Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers:
- The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country;
- The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country;
- The Times is read by people who actually do run the country;
- The Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country;
- The Financial Times is read by people who own the country;
- The Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country;
- And the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is."
Sir Humphrey: "Prime Minister, what about the people who read the Sun?"
Bernard Woolley: "Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big t*ts."

Some self-righteous people think they have such high moral ground and denounce certain others as "Urgh, Daily Mail reader".
Clearly they are unaware of the irony. To tar the reader of any publication in a certain manner is the work of prejudice, something the Self righteous usually scream in distress about.

Daily Mail launched an Irish version of its paper earlier this year. It is priced at 50 cent, the cheaptest title in the "quality" market. It is certainly the best "read" in the Irish market - great coverage of local sport, superb pictorial coverage, interesting news pages and interesting columnists. Yeah, all that surprises me; I would not be a typical "Mail" reader.
