Whats the problem with Daily Mail

what is your agenda, you have stuck your head above the parapet but you are not prepared to be shot down. you are entitled to your opinion, but when people turn round and tell you what a ridiculous rag the mail is you take the hump.

What a complete load of bo****cks , if you got something constructive to say OK , otherwise stick to your computor games.

Returning to the opening post, it does seem bit of a curious way to argue - attack the attackers of a sterotype by claiming that the attackers are of a stereotype themselves, and a not entirely credible stereotypical group at that ;)

He has a point though.
Its always the mail that takes the flak. On here anyway.

But the irony is that it tends to be the mail that get's quoted, presumably by non-mail readers :confused: So how does that work :confused:

what I said was entirely constructive, the mail is a reactionary small minded rag read by little englanders. I include the express in that quote. what do you expect when you start a thread like that.
by the way I dont play computer games.
 
All papers report basically the same drivel, the Mail included. I'm a DM reader, used to be a Mirror and /or Sun reader, the main reason for reading the DM is the fact that the ink from the print in it doesn't transfer to your fingers as readily as the other two. But I do like the style of the reporting in the paper too.
As for 'scaremongering' on the health issues, isn't it nice to know about a potential health risk, and make choices, rather than not? I read or skip through most of the paper, take note of the parts I want to and ignore the rest. Having read the other rags, they highlight on different articles, be it celebrity, sport, etc. But it's all about choice. It did used to wind me up, listening to people run the DM and its readers into the ground, comedians especially, but if their material relies upon what a certain paper reports, or the type of person who reads them, then that is their prerogative. Doesn't mean I have to like it, but I don't have to listen to it either. I have a choice, as does everyone else. If one paper reports an article in detail, guaranteed it will be in another paper within the week.
 
Wasnt it the mail on sunday that used to have the dodgy doctor giving out bogus health advice like take a warm bath in epsom salts for a brain tumor and the like.

As for the 2 million readers argument, millions watch x factor, eastenders and I'm a celebrity doesn't make them good :rolleyes:
 
How did it used to go?
Something along these lines I think
The Times is read by people who run the country
The Financial times is read by those who own it
The Guardian is read by those who think they should run it
The Mail is read by the wives of those who run the country
The Telegraph is read by those who think it should be run as it was 70 years ago
The Express readers still think it is
etc etc
Not far off is it

And so, armed with this insight, why post a thread complaining about stereotypes :confused:
 
I have no idea if the allegations are correct, all

I am trying to show is that all papers are guilty of misquotes.

Well if it might not be correct, it doesn't prove guilt, does it?
