Just that really

I read the Times, Guardian and skim the Mail if I can be bothered. I consider the Telegraph and Mail right wing and the Times borderline right wing. What do you read OP?

Losttheplotsometimeago · 05/05/2023 12:39

I don't think any of the newspapers here are much good, or courageous, tbh. They should "publish and be damned" a lot more than they do.

Whiskyinajar · 05/05/2023 12:41

New York Times and usually one of the German ones translated. It's the only way I can read the truth about what's going on here.

SoTedious · 05/05/2023 12:45

All right wing except the Guardian and the Mirror. I sometimes read the Guardian on the app but that's it, I can't remember the last time I read a hard copy. You only have to have been involved in a story that's reported in the papers to understand how inaccurate they are, whether through poor journalism, sensationalism to sell copies / get clicks, or political bias.

The ones not behind a paywall so iirc they are The Mail, Mirror, Guardian, Sun, the Mail might be ditched though as it doesn't like my Adblocker. I don't read any actual paper newspapers. They are not really proper news though just click bait mainly.

Sistanotcista · 05/05/2023 12:49

I read The Guardian and The Daily Mail. The truth is somewhere in the middle, hence reading two sets of reporting.

User85398653 · 05/05/2023 12:49

oh and I think the Mirror and guardian are left wing and the Mail right wing, not sure about the Sun, it's like a magazine

MissyB1 · 05/05/2023 12:50

I tend to get all my news from channel 4 news every evening. But if ever read an online news story it tends to be The Guardian, every other paper seems to be right wing.

prh47bridge · 06/05/2023 09:59

I don't read any newspaper regularly. I tend to get my news from the BBC, although I will occasionally look at the Guardian or Daily Mail websites (and sometimes the Telegraph - it is easy to get past their paywall if you are technologically savvy).

I think for many people, where they think a paper stands politically is coloured by their own political leanings. My view is that the Telegraph, Sun, Mail and Express are right wing, the Times is centre right, the Observer, Guardian, Mirror and Sunday People are centre left, the Morning Star is left wing, the i and Independent are centrist. The Financial Times varies between centrist and centre right. As for the Star, who knows where they stand politically!

Personally, I like Yes, Prime Minister on the press:

Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; the Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is.

Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun?

Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.

@prh47bridge my favourite programme of all time.

verdantverdure · 08/06/2023 13:38

FT and Guardian, Sunday Times or Observer on Sundays, sometimes both.

I can't bear how manipulative The Sun and The Daily Mail are, and I'm always surprised that people submit to it. Especially if they pay to do so. Ditto for The Telegraph these days. Which is very sad.

lljkk · 08/06/2023 14:03

Time & Torygraph are right wing. So are Sun, DM, Express.
I don't read anything regularly. Whichever one I can read online for free, so tabloids.

SunnyEgg · 08/06/2023 14:06

I try to get information from Times radio and R4 mostly

It can be skewed but I sort through and appreciate the cold hard data shows or spokespeople

I avoid reacting to headlines as much as possible, especially after Covid barrage

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 08/06/2023 14:07

The Independent, the Guardian, telegraph, times, articles in The Atlantic and NYT, the Times.

I don’t consider The Daily Mail to be a newspaper, more like a mad, right-wing, celebrity obsessed comic.

Isolationendurance · 08/06/2023 14:08

Right wing? The express, daily mail, telegraph, times, financial times.

How is the guardian right wing?

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 08/06/2023 14:09

I never said it was, the OP asked which newspapers you read.

Ha!

Eyesopenwideawake · 08/06/2023 14:10

The Guardian, Times (although mainly for the puzzles!) Mail for a laugh. Most news is via Ch4 and LBC.

ginamc · 08/06/2023 14:14

All right wing apart from the Mirror, Grauniad and Observer. Possibly the Independent is centrist. I read the Mail sometimes, Grauniad, bbc, Twitter.

Never ever read the Scum

lljkk · 08/06/2023 14:26

the FT is fairly left wing while being rabidly pro-business. It's an interesting niche.

hattie43 · 14/06/2023 20:49

Telegraph , Times and Mail .

Farmageddon · 14/06/2023 20:55

Used to love the Guardian, but they've disappeared so far up their own sanctimonious hole in the last few years, and pushed out some of their best writers, so it's a no from me.

I now subscribe to the Times, which I never would have believed in my 20's.
