to like the Daily Mail?

[Beaaware]

Love this paper, but on here so many of you seem to despise it, why?

You could do a T-shirt a bit like:

Eat shit: 10 billion flies can't be wrong:o

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I read the sun

You can't "read" the sun. It's an oxymoron.

Love the tits tho!!!!!!!!!

I buy the DM to annoy the hell out of DH. I started reading it in Uni after being bought up on the Mirror. Still skim the mirror every day, used to enjoy the Mail on Sunday but the murderous thoughts about Liz Jones just got too much for a Sunday!
TBH I hate all newspapers, they are all political propaganda.

I dispise the DM and if you perhaps take a look at what is behind the DM now and back in the 1930's then perhaps it will explain why it is dispised, especialy darcy.

Apart from that I tick some of the boxes for people they dispise and write about with venom

It is utter, utter, utter crap in the worst possible way. At least with the Sun or something you know its unashamedly tabloid crap. What I really hate about the DM is the veneer of being a proper paper, when actually its literally the worst newspaper in print in Britain today. its racist, xenophobic, dangerously right wing, and full of rubbish about princess diana and other similar crap. Anyone who reads it goes right down in my estimation - its a very poor reflection on their intellect and judgment in my view.

YABVU. Sorry, but it is shite. My PIL have it, and if I pick it up at their house I can be sure that 5 minutes later I will be hopping mad and DH will be reprimanding me for being stupid enough to read something which I know annoys me.

My parents have always read, and I'd occasionally dare a flick through. Then have to go have a relaxing bath to calm myself down again. It never failed to wind me up.

YABU. I can never understand why they don't get prosecuted for incitement to racial hatred for most of the crap they print. It is truly vile.

I went for a lovely day out at Champneys Health Resort last year... fab except for the choice of reading matter - the Daily Mail and Hello.

Though looking around me I suspect they were hitting their target audience...

God I'm so judgey aren't I??!

I dislike ghe daily mail because they seem to hate everyone who dares have a child or use public services in any way shape or form ( and they are utterly obsessed with house prices ). They seem to be aimed at white middle class ( or wanna be middle class) families either wig no children or with long grown up children who have forgotten,

Its great for celebrity gossip. And that's all.

The MN relationship with the DM is a fascinating one. Everyone claims to hate it -so much so that they feel the need to read it every day.

It's the single most talked about media source on here and by far the most linked to site.

people on mumsnet don't Like the Daily Mail because it represents middle England. Mainly White, married heterosexual Christians. And that just isn't on is it. The DM is a paper that actually represents the majority, but they're just not sexy, edgy or different enough for lefties. It has journos like Richard Littlejohn and Jan moir, who say what everyone else is thinking. Plus the brilliant Liz Jones. ( Plus it has one of the best sports journos around.

They occasionally come out with ultra controversial statements like; ' some women are happier at home with their baby rather than trying to do it all'...... I honestly don't know how they get away with that one...

Nothing to do with middle England - in fact, that is hugely insulting to the vast majority of middle Englanders, Daftpunk.

I don't like the DM because it is badly written, frequently mixing fact and opinion in a way which deliberately confuses the two. People read the papers for both news and gossip - but they deserve to know which is which, whether middle Englanders or otherwise.

the one thing you can never say about the DM is that it's badly written - it's not.

You may not like what they say but the writing quality is probably the best in newspaper publishing.

Agree Nancy66. Top journalists.

IMO, journalists have a duty to separate fact and opinion. It's poor journalism to confuse the two.

LOL.

and I think it is loved by a lot of people on mn, as you can see by the amount of links,

I love to go on the online site and make comments. It winds up the 'real' readers no end and I quite often get wrist-slappy emails from the website people telling me they have withdrawn a comment due to number of complaints.

It amuses me that everyone on MN thinks it's so bad and yet it's the one paper that everyone seems to read.

At least it doesn't have those quaint 'knit your own handbag/belt/garden furniture' things that the Guardian delights in. ;)

miracled - but you're a 'real' reader - you go on the website, you've even signed up and given them your details so you can log in and post comments.

yeah yeah - you did all this to wind up faceless strangers Of course you did.

Are you:

Rasist
Homophobic
Gullible
A bit dim
Interested in made up news
Interested in celebrities and their made up news
Right wing
Scared of young people
Scared of any religion other than christianity
Scared of travellers
Easily enraged
Convinced that you or your children are going to die a terrible death
A taxpayer who owns their own home and is absolutely certain you will never need state support
Superior
Likely to phone benefits agencies if you see someone who could possibly be fiddling the system

?

If your answer is 'yes' to most of these, the Daily Mail is the right paper for you.
