Please answer the following questions - please post once only. And do not comment so as to deter Daily Mail readers.

  1. Which paper do you mostly read Mon-Fri?

  2. Which Sunday paper do you read mostly?

Please answer with one paper. No pretending - if you feel you should answer Guardian and Observer but in reality read the Daily Mail and News of the World, please namechange and answer truthfully.

I read online the dailymail, the times, notw, the sun, the guardian plus a few foreign papers.

twinsetandpearls · 31/01/2009 20:31

I am not laughing.

I hope you are only laughing becuase it is ludicrous.

Watusi · 31/01/2009 20:31
  1. None, I find them unnecessary - I prefer to find out what's happening by reading MN, also am a slow reader and a lot of a paper is incredibly boring to me.
  1. If I am going to buy one it'll be the grauniad or independent. I rarely do this - maybe 3 or 4 times a year recently, more before that.

I used to buy the times occasionally as it had loads of magaziney gumph with it but found the editorial content made me feel shabby so stopped. You can feel the difference in terms of political spectrum immediately - i must be a hardened leftie i think

  1. Guardian (M-Saturday)
  2. Observer (but not happy with it)

And that's the truth. I might not buy it everyday, but DH can't live without the daily paper so I read it too (and I would choose these papers even if DH didn't, but he does). And I wouldn't have had twinset down as a DM reader at all.

Thanks fuck for that Bythesea I have been trying to think of a more socialist name.

bluebump · 31/01/2009 20:37
  1. The Guardian (online sometimes, don't always buy it)
  2. The News of the World
noonki · 31/01/2009 20:42

Noonki - that is quite a political shift to make every Sunday

Saturday: Telegraph

ProfessorCalculus · 31/01/2009 20:51
  1. The Times, Daily Mail, Mirror, Sun and Independent (DP and I both journos so need to read a cross section).
  2. Nothing. Having read so many papers in the week we need a day off.
WilfSell · 31/01/2009 20:55

rarely buy a paper as never have time to read it [too busy on here]

Read articles online daily from all the broadsheets depending on what mood I'm in. BBC Online and News24 my most common newsource

Miss all the ideology editorial/columnists a lot though. Looking forward to being able to read papers again in 17 years.

Enjoy laughing at the Express in the Doctor's surgery . I am, obv, a natural Guardianista.

SniffyHock · 31/01/2009 20:55

I subscribe to 'The Week' - it's great as I never manage a daily paper.

ProfessorCalculus · 31/01/2009 20:56

There seem to be a lot of Guardian/Indy readers on MN.

Meglet · 31/01/2009 20:56
  1. mon - fri - Guardian

  2. sunday - Observer

southeastastra · 31/01/2009 20:57

usa today

4andnotout · 31/01/2009 21:00

1.The Daily Mail (what is all the dm shannanigans about?)

2.The News Of The World.

TheFallenMadonna · 31/01/2009 21:01

I read the Times and the Sunday Times.

I think I should probably be a guardianista (am a bit of a pinko) but find it unutterably arty-farty and up it's own backside. I cannot read it. Even in a coffee shop.

If Times weren't there, I'd read the Torygraph

I do shout at it a lot though, if that makes it any better...

EldonAve · 31/01/2009 21:04

1 - occasionally times
2 - telegraph

Ingles2 · 31/01/2009 21:04

sfxmum · 31/01/2009 21:25

1- none on paper a few online
2- the Observer & the torygraph I like to know what the other side is thinking

CantSleepWontSleep · 31/01/2009 21:26

1 None
2 None, but when we had time for Sunday papers, The Times.

(If we buy a Saturday paper it's the Mail, but only because I like the giant crossword!)

janeite · 31/01/2009 21:26
  1. None on paper - BBC news and Gruniad online

  2. The Observer
