Daily Mail fail

[Gooseberrybushes]

Have just done the usual check around the papers and wanted mners to respond to a query if you can.

Re Daily Mail: the most important story of the day is not the lead, unsurprisingly, nor anywhere near it. It seems an average day for the Mail. There is the usual celebrity bilge down the right column.

So I was wondering, in terms of news choices and news coverage, what kind of thing is being objected to and on what grounds.

For eg: there's a story about school heads being paid over 100,000 a year. If you really hate the Mail, can you explain why in terms of specific stories.

Thanks. I'm neutral, I read all the papers (well not cover to cover but I get across them all online to get a rounded view.

In case this counts: my chosen paper would be the Telegraph, favoured media the BBC and out of the Guardian and the Indie, I'd take the Indie.

I wonder if anyone will respond!

Sorry one more important opponent of the Mail, I forgot to add.

The Labour Party

Oh and also

Moriarty

Sherlock Holmes's devious, cunning old foe. There's nothing underhand to which that scoundrel wouldn't turn his hand. He read the Guardian every day, while the Mail was delivered daily to Holmes and Watson, those illustrious addressees, at that famous Baker Street address of 221B.

Eh? So this liberal elite who you claim are promoting the idea of climate change have secretly managed to control the right-leaning Times, Sun, Mail, Express, and Telegraph, as well as the Guardian and Indy? Rupert Murdoch is all part of the conspiracy, is he?

Do you actually understand what liberal means, or do you think it just means "people in power"?

Ahh... well if Arthur Conan Doyle says it, it must be true. I expect the Mormons are secretly the ones controlling the climate change lobby

Really Claig, pop your tin foil hat back on, you'll feel much better.

Yep. The liberal elite are not in charge of anything. Blair and Brown haven't been invited to the wedding. The liberal elite work for the truly powerful. By the way I take the phrase "the liberal elite" from that famous magazine, beloved of socialists, "The New Statesman", quoted below

""Global warming is a threat that is going to wipe out civilisation as we know it. The liberal elite and political classes are signed up to the message that, unless we take urgent action within ten years, we are all literally doomed to burn up.

But who else believes them?"

The Mormons, good God-fearing people, have absolutely nothing to do with it.

Apart from the fact that Arthur Conan Doyle hated them - that was my point.

Claig, I have literally no idea what point you're trying to make. I've read and reread your posts and while the individual words make sense, sometimes even whole phrases, added together they are completely devoid of any kind of argument - I can't find anything to agree or disagree with because I have no idea what your point is.

Arthur Conan Doyle didn't hate anyone. The Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes thing was a joke.

I can't help, because I don't understand why you don't understand my point.

I'm not an expert on the Mormons, but I just googled them, and as I suspected, it seems they are not believers in global warming. I also suspect that they don't read the Guardian, but I am not sure.

Why is it that Mormons DON'T believe in global warming

But it didn't surprise me to find that Charles Manson is an evangelist for global warming

As ever, you can't go far wrong if you read the learned contributions of the Daily Mail's readers in their comments section.

A contributor, called Jim, from Los Angeles, states

"So now Al Gore has Osma Bin Ladin and Charles Manson championing his scam. HAHAHA."

Some would even claim that Jim, from Los Angeles, is wise beyond his years, because he keeps up and is all ears. There's no flies on Jim, they can't fool him. He reads the Daily Mail, every day without fail.
