Daily Mail neighbours.

WTF are you on?

Nearly everyone reads the daily mail even thought most will not admit it including me. Here is the likely reasons why

• Many work places carry the high end newspapers anyway.
• The World would have moved by the time you finished reading the editorials, columns, Op-eds
• Daily mail has key bullets summary
• People can't wait for one of the Kardashians to be hit by a bus - both male and female readers included
• Only pensioners, retirees etc have the time to read a proper newpaper. If they read the Daily Mail cover to cover they would still need something else to occupy the other 23.45 hrs in a day.

When we got the puppy we realized as we no longer get a print paper we would need to buy some for the kitchen floor. I checked all the neighbours' recycling bins and was disappointed that none of the five houses get a paper, so it was off down to Sainsburys to get one. To my great delight the thickest paper for the least money was the great tabloid itself. I have started a game chez Cube ... Placing bets on which story the puppy shows most contempt for during the night. She completely failed to give me an immortal photo opportunity by missing a certain Republican presidential hopeful by 16cm the other night........

Was at the solicitors the last week, 4 newspapers available. Read the mail found it very reasonable, mind I was comparing it to the solicitors bill!

No other UK daily does hate like the Mail does, and the saddest thing is that it somehow dresses itself up as 'respectable' to a group of people who see themselves as 'above' the red-tops but don't want anything as demanding as a real newspaper.

And they're a group of people who really should know better. Unless they're just thick of course, which is probably more likely.

[QUOTE 4064374, member: 259"]Good luck. They sometimes manage to copy the press releases without too many mistakes, but all the journos jumped ship yonks ago.

The comments pages are like Zombies Dawn of the Dead[/QUOTE]
Unfortunate, but there are all sorts of filters imposed on the connection I have which means choices are very limited. I've even had technical sites blocked due to them being categorised as 'Reference'. Of course they're reference - thats why I was trying to look at them!

Unlikely they are thick, given the Daily Mail is a publishing success in a very difficult market.

There is lots to like.

Plenty in it to read, the editorial content each day is roughly as many words as a novel.

It's very wide ranging, lots of feature type stuff - holidays motoring etc - cartoons and puzzles.

Then there's Femail, literally a publishing phenomenon.

Too many posters on here underestimate the Mail's readership.

They - like most national newspaper readers - don't take the political stance on board or take any of the stories too seriously.

What they do like is a fantastically well produced newspaper with lots in it to read.

It is indeed a business success and the interesting thing is that it has been a success since its inception more than a century ago. And it never pretended to be a political or a philosophical sage of any kind. It delivers news and not sermons or even opinions. and the are lots of news plus the regular bouts of sensationalism. I think they know which side of their bread is buttered.

It is a hate filled publication that is a disgrace.

My father, in his 70s, gets the Express every day - he's not daft, and he knows it's full of effluent, but this doesn't stop him from getting 'ranty' about some of the content.

When challenged, he will admit to knowing the slant the paper puts on things, but he just can't seem to help himself.

I sat next to a Daily Heil journo at a dinner the other day. I needed a shower afterwards.

Care to enlighten us about what happened after dinner that got you so sweaty you needed a shower?

 

[srw]

You want to know?

I want to encourage @User out of his usual reticence.

 

[steveindenmark]

Im glad the op posted paper and not newspaper. The DM could never be described as a newspaper.

He/she probably felt the same.

For a racist hate-filled rag it didn't half do a good job of obtaining justice for Stephen Lawrence.
