to think that the Daily Mail is in cahoots with MN?!

About 80% of every 'news' link I open is for a Daily Mail article.

Why is everyone reading such a rubbish rag? Or is there some partnership going on?

(Only joiking, by the way. I just don't understand why so many people are reading the Daily Mail!)

I frequent another chat forum, and EVERY link is to the Daily Mail, yet nobody on there ever admits to reading it- it's always "I accidently came across this story whilst looking for something else!"

I've noticed the same on MN! Something like "Sorry, it's the Daily Mail..."

Is it a guilty passion that I just don't share?!

The DM aims to make people angry. As we are normal human beings, we have to find a way to discuss and, hopefully, dissipate that anger.

The DM is the only decent on-line site for news, even if it a load of dramatics half the time. The site itself is easy to navigate, has all the gossip, and the readers comments are quick and easy to view.

Its not half as much fun reading the actual paper now, as you find yourself wondering what the comments would be online.

Daily mail always seems to come up on yahoo and other news sites quite high up so it may be people following links from that, especially if it has an antagonistical headline!

I'm afraid I'm loving the annual Aintree outfit coverage on the DM site at the moment
