To start listing all the articles currently being drawn from Mumsnet by the Daily Mail

[DailyMailMonitor]

This isn't really an AIBU but I wanted to put it here as most days a thread from mumsnet is making it onto the Daily Mail [sad face]... What you write on this site is not just for mumsnet consumption. Don't write anything that you wouldn't be willing to see as click bait for tabloid journalism.

WIBU to update this every week or so with the latest trawlings? Tedious I know but the advice on here is always to collect evidence to support your assertions.

BTW you don't need to actually read the mail to do this, just type mumsnet into their search bar. And its not just the mail. I might expand to include others depending on how long the baby naps for.

Here goes for the last week or so:

Mumsnet user Blondeandinept asked fellow parents for their advice after her mother-in-law suggested that her children's lunch portion sizes were 'way too much'.

personally i think there are a lot of readers on here but they are scared they will get flamed for admitting to it, i think that is called bullying.

pipsqueak from memory the excuses over the years have been...

My PILs read it and they were telling me about an article...

I picked it up in the hairdressers as there was a long queue.

I don't buy it, I just read it online for the celeb gossip (duh!)

I didn't mean to read it, but it popped up on my Facebook feed.

I tripped over a cat in the street and fell head first onto the pavement. As I lay there bleeding and waiting for the paramedics to arrive, I happened to notice my head had fallen into an open copy of the Daily Mail and I accidentally read it...

OK, I might have made the last one up

Either read it or don't, but I've never got the gnashing and wailing about it really.

There are a lot of readers. And let's be honest, even if you're just logging on to their website and typing mumsnet into their search bar to see what threads are being lifted, it's probably time you stepped away from the internet back out into the real world for a bit.

Spending time searching for mumsnet threads on the daily mail website really isn't healthy.

worra you totally rock !! at last someone is speaking up, and telling the truth, come on, we don't want the thumb screws out for people to say they read it but there is no need to get bitchy about readers who do either,

The really tragic thing is that meanwhile there is, you know, real news going on. Serious, awful news - the stuff people who read newspapers really should be learning about, the stuff that arguably journalists have a duty to inform their readership about - but instead it's kids finding mum's vibrators.

I don't read the DM, ever, but presumably as well as the threads lifted from various sources they do actually write news as well?

Yeah Limited, I applied for a job I wasn't qualified for but they really liked my application so offered that instead.
But you're right: lucky escape!

I've been saying it for years Pip

I genuinely don't care who chooses to read what, as it's none of my business.

But I can't stand the hypocrisy and denial that goes on. If people choose to read it, that's up to them but at least own it.

I don't read newspapers (except my local rag) as I get most of my news from the BBC website, but if someone puts a DM link on here, I have no problem clicking it/not clicking it.

I just don't get the obsession

I saw the monster leggings one on the facebook page of the designers of the leggings but I do like a bit of sidebarofshame every now and then. That doesn't count, does it?

You don't have to be qualified to be a journalist parmaviolets13. You have to have certain aptitude

In the olden days you actually had to be able to investigate your own stories and be able to string a few words together!

What you write on this site is not just for mumsnet consumption
Are you seriously telling me that other people can see and copy what is written here? I thought it was just a private little club.

It never ceases to amaze me that people don't realise that this is the internet and it can be read by anyone, anywhere in the world.

They need a thesaurus. 'Heated debate' is getting a bit passé.

I'm more fed up with Mners having a greater concern for possible journo interest in the trivia and nonsense we discuss - like it's of some major importance, when it's often just trivia and nonsense. The threads that have accusatory posts declaring 'media' influence and interest in the mundane aspects of Ariadne's reading levels or how Kaylee's mum feels.

FURY as downmarket tabloid COPIES women's discussions to fill up empty space on an hourly basis

"They can't even do capital letters right", busty blonde mum DustyBusty complained, shamelessly flaunting her curves in clinging pyjamas.

In the olden days you actually had to be able to investigate your own stories and be able to string a few words together!

How are they not doing that?

I don't think that mining Mumsnet is the height of investigative journalism is it?

A lot of the old press has just gone online and the demand for instant news means that info is pulled from social media in some instances.

I'm speaking from the point of view of journalism than uncovers dirty dealings and cover ups, taking on the courts and government, not which Z list celeb wore a bikini or what's happening Mumsnet.

Oh. I'm a DM headline . I would never have known without this Fred. Thanks OP

Matthew Wright will be discussing the 'monster leggings' in a few minutes.

He's even got a pair there in the studio

I need to know if all media use is frowned upon? We were on Dave Gorman last week. Is that also unacceptable?
Personally I was quite chuffed to see MN included. I love that show.

And the trouser one is a talking point on the Wright show this morning.

Holy crap, I thought you were joking.

Monster leggings on The Wright Stuff. :o

Is that Right Said Fred?

Glorious man.

Ah I'm DM famous again. I need to remember this and be careful what I share on here!

Heated debate
Turned to Mumsnet
Has taken to Mumsnet

It's just clichéd crap. All this heating and turning and taking is the best they can come up with to make drivel sound interesting.
