To think the people who slag off the Daily Mail are on the site 10x a day?

I see so many threads slagging off the Daily Mail by people seem to know exactly what is going on on their website at all times. Surely if you dislike a paper and what they stand you shouldn’t be obsessively clicking on their website and helping to add to their revenue?

I use the Apple News app which does not print anything from the Daily Mail so I genuinely don’t know what they’re printing and I find it so bizarre their biggest detractors are keeping them in business by constantly reading the site. I don’t think you can take the moral high ground on a website you’re clearly addicted to reading.

Mail and Sun hideous 'news'papers. Tory rags for those unable to think for themselves.

Is there a newspaper for those that "think for themselves"? No doubt you'd know! Particularly if you're vegan environmentalist, daddy-rich communist. Then you Definitely know the sources of independent thinking!

Erm, StoneofDestiny, it isn't contagious. I have never voted for a Tory candidate since I was able to vote (but am worried about the whole having photo id to vote as I cannot afford a passport renewal right now and haven't since it ran out, or maybe I misunderstood the advert on tv I saw today?). I have always voted whoever was closest to my own beliefs, which was Labour, still not enamoured by them. They are shite heads to me, no matter what parties. They all try to get ahead, second guess and generally trample over anything we all agree on.

Actually the average age of a Mail writer is likely far younger. It hires slews of graduates to churn out 6+ articles a day for its site, hence the massive volume of content. The funny part is they produce so many articles they don’t have enough sub-editors to proof read them, so many are littered with spelling and grammatical errors.

The reason they don't have subs is keeping costs down and as continually proven on here, no-one cares about SPAG any more - people who do are called cunts on here.

Well the guardian can stuff off until it can work out what a woman is. Ye Gods
