but you put down people who read papers you don't like

JoolsToo · 30/12/2006 18:48

I've ditched it for The Independent, not that I get a newspaper everyday, never have.

I do find these threads yawn worthy though. We've heard it all before from the holier than thou Guardianistas - well done you for choosing the 'right' (left) newspaper - have a sherbet lemon.

Heathcliffscathy · 30/12/2006 18:48

lol jools

2shoes · 30/12/2006 18:48

oh sherbert lemons now your talking love them

Heathcliffscathy · 30/12/2006 18:49

indy though.....blimey.....sooooo depressing. great journalism, but god, makes me want to emigrate to a small forgotten island somewhere and wait for armegeddon (sp?)

JoolsToo · 30/12/2006 18:53

I don't find it depressing. I still have 2 December issue because there is an article on Trevor Phillips that I've yet to read. I'll get round to it.

We read the Daily Mail and on THursday DH reads the SUN, so what does that say about us and especially DH on a Thursday - btw he gets it on Thursday for the job section.

WideWebWitch · 30/12/2006 18:56

definitions of who reads which paper not that I necessarily agree with all of them but hey

Ready · 30/12/2006 18:56

My problem with the Mail, is that a lot of people do believe the scaremongering and nonsense that is printed, and it causes unrest and resentment around certain issues.
The Times IMO is very different to the Mail. I don't have a copy of the Mail in front of me to compare, but from memory, The Mail tends to be more 'sensational' with it's features and headlines are less descriptive of the content in the articles and more 'attention grabbing'. The Times headlines are far more descriptive of the actual content and I have always found the Times (and the Guardian) to offer both sides of the coin in their articles, and I don't think that the Mail does that.I could be wrong. It's been a long time since I looked at a copy.

Again, I am not trying to be snobby towards people for reading it... merely curious. I am not being "holier than thou" either but I would like a sherbert lemon please

I can't stand the health section - pages and pages of scare-mongering mostly aimed at women, which contradicts itself week after week! 'Drinking Water Causes Breast Cancer'
'Not Drinking Water causes Breast Cancer'
Eating sausages gives you cancer
'Giving Birth causes cancer'
'Not giving birth etc etc etc.'
(hastens to add, only read it at my local coffeee shop - it's always the only paper left)

3rdTriMossTer · 30/12/2006 18:58

Sil gets it. For the magazines, apparently.

I used to read the Grauniad but gave up recently, just became fed up with how totally London-centric it was.

Indy's okay but agree with Sophable, bit depressing at times!

I find the Daily Mail so abhorrent I can't really bring myself to read it. My mum buys it and if I pick it up and flick through it at her house it makes me want to spit.

2shoes · 30/12/2006 18:59

www lol so I "think I run the country"

Ready · 30/12/2006 19:05

WWW - LOL at your link!!

Voddylover - Why do you find those newspapers boring?

LMAO The DM mentioned under the news section, surely this should be in the made up shit section.

foxinsocks · 30/12/2006 19:30

was just looking at the newspaper circulation - the Mail (last month) had an average daily circulation of 2.3 million copies - that's a hell of a lot and apart from the Sun (3 million) and the Mirror (1.5 million), it's way ahead of the competition.
