Daily Mail Fail

[standian]

sure everyone is free to air their views here ut must we be subjected to a daily helping of the world according to the Daily Mail the drip drip drip of xenophobia and sundry knee jerk cobbled together non stories im aware of a PC culture on AB The Daily Mail has no qualms in flouting such niceties Why the free advert for the DM each day

[WShee9]

I dont know,Standy...all i do know is that the DM has the highest circulation and readership of all the serious papers...so they must be doing something right...no pun intended...

[Rasman]

Because admit it or not, everyone loves to be infuriated, outraged and generally irked to some degree whilst others like to ridicule, lambaste and generally feel superior.

[Rasman]

The Daily Mail provide fodder for debates here on AB

[WShee9]

My reasoning is no DM,no news section on AB...we would be lost without it.

[Rasman]

You're not wrong WShee9

[WShee9]

If only the guardian and the independent started liking the british public,instead of liking every country in the world who hate us they might get more respect and more readership....it aint rocket science...

[standian]

Shoulld be The Daily Muckraker then and many pay homage to the miasmic mind of Paul Dacre much like his frightened minions at Northcliffe House although they whisper Dacre the Dictator or Ballacher on the backstairs wouldnt touch it with your bargepole meself

[WShee9]

each to their own,Standy....buy up as much guardians and independents as you can ....cause this time next year you will be their only reader...tee-hee....

[standian]

Too much hatred and superior smugness will rot away your soul i take your point re The Gaurdian and their ilk bit po faced and naive But i refuse to be swayed by right wing rags Be careful of what you wish for Been catching oreilly and glen beck on Fox News and its a Hoot That brand of drivel is coming here soon Mr Murdoch will see to that

[WShee9]

[Quizmonster]

Surely, WShee9, YOU cannot be serious when you refer to the MAIL as a "serious paper", can you?

[ludwig]

Yeah, terrible isn't it. Do we really have to put up with this kind of stuff??

Why don't you counter-balance it by posting stories from a different newspaper? Blimey, if you carry on moaning like that, we could be forgiven for thinking you're one of those outraged Daily Mail readers!

Ludwig, that first link you gave will be an eye opener for some.

[Count-A-Strong]

Is there a full stop shortage?

[ludwig]

Yes, interesting isn't it Naomi. I might check out the Xmasisevil.com website later. I don't normally look at the Mail but was inspired to do so by this question.

[jno]

because how else would you be able to remember all the things that give you cancer?

[ludwig]

Exactly jno - if we didn't have the Mail, we'd have no idea what it is we're supposed to be outraged and depressed about every day.

The Daily Mail website is the most viewed Newspaper website in the UK. Although I don't like the content, it does what it does extremely well.

The Mail also knows its readership and satiates its needs Daily. If you are outside its demographic, it looks extreme and alarmist. I do however, dislike how it misinforms and enforces false beliefs. An example of this yesterday, we had one Daily Mail reader declare
// "a huge majority of all Muslim youth are fundamentalist and therefore potential terrorists" //
He offered reports in the Daily Mail as evidence, bless him.
