101 Reasons to Hate the Daily Mail

[PerArduaAdNauseum]

1. Because they can't report a fact without putting a slant on it

1. Because they deliberately try to make everything more frightening than it is

Come on you know you want to

Not amazing at all imo DP.

I've never bought The Sun or The Star or News Of The World or The Express or The Hampshire Chronicle or The Radio Times or TV Times or Chat or Heat or Hello or OK or Vogue or Good Housekeeping or Readers Digest - but I have read them all and could express opinions on them.

Are you accusing some of us of lying?

I'm watching The International and it's shite.

I'd rather be wiping my arse with the DM

Thank you mintyy. Exactly.

Most people know what's in the press.

Je ne sais quoi is in the press.

Pas de tout.

no minty..i'm not accusing you of lying....but you would need to read something more than once or twice to make judgements...

i wouldn't make a judgement about you from a few posts....i'd have to read alot of your stuff before i could make a good judgement..

read what you wish but don't get holier than thou about DM,that you only read because it was left in cafe/belonged to parents/someone else reads

this is risible. all these unwitting MN posters/DM readers who vicariously know its contents.don't need to piss about with mere facts either

My husband is a Judge...

He has nice Parnts...

parnts is that a Norf london predilection

I'm 46 DP. I promise you I have read the DM more than once or twice. But never bought it. And only at other people's houses or when someone has left a copy on the train or bus, for e.g. Oh yes and when I had a long relationship with a tabloid journalist, he used to get all the papers daily, so I read a lot of papers then.

I'll get holy all day long thanks. Don't really get your point scottishmummy.

You're annoyed that people criticise the DM, and appear to know what they're talking about?

Would you rather we just criticised it without having a clue what we're talking about?

No doubt if we said 'I've never read it but...' then you'd be the first to say we had no right to an opinion.

I've read it. I think it's vile. What's the problem.

I read the DM free cos it comes with Tesco's deliveries. I like to know what the enemy is up to.As far as I can work out the enemy is mostly up to hatred, fear and big BIG fibs.

I always feel a bit grubby when I've finished it tho.Specially that twunt Allison Pearson.

One delivery man told me a lot of his deliverees tell him to shove his free paper up his arse

mintyy...i honesty couldn't care less what you read....the DM isn't specialist porn....it appeals to normal middleclass tory voters..

ah DM,it somehow always magically freely available to MN right-on-ers

funny on MN =read it,but dont dirty your hands purchasing it

Yes. It's like Pants, that just aren't.

We like them high on the thigh. As long as the thigh is taught and tanned (St Barts, natch).

who's ifishwife...?

Are you prepared to expand on that at all scottishmummy, we get that you think it's funny that we have read it.

Why is it a problem that we've read it. Do you not have any idea what kind of stuff in in the publications that you don't actually buy?

Or do you just read the stuff you pay for and have no clue what's in the other stuff?

what does one teach thighs.admirable eduvation in N6 that one's thighs are taught

the hams are high

splendiferous

The Hocks are High, the Hamstrings are High, our sons and daughters are High but we pretend not to notice as we blew and bribed far too many Head Teachers to get them into those schools..

my issue is this thread is littered with
i dont read it/mum buys it/found it in a cafe

much inability to say yes i read it and i think...

lots of bluster and excuses
know your enemy - you read Sunday sport then?
i don't read it i found it....really
want to challenge opinions - how altruistic

lookey seems to me a great mass of you read and devour the DM,possibly enjoy.put protest you don't.bitty too vociferously

'ah DM,it somehow always magically freely available to MN right-on-ers'

Tis a fact that until recently DH worked for the press on thier haulage contract, so absolutely could get it free.
There was a hierarchy to really annoy you SM: If Dh could get the Times we got that, if not then the Dm / Sun / Mirror

Until some twunt started nicking them for selling on so they all got banned from having a copy

Clearly you doubt that i've neer bought it but hey ho. Why would I, in truth?After all it was a free paper for 5 years or so, cheaper issues of Times @ guardian in the uni shop and mostly I read nothing now. Neither intellectual or otherwise- I perfer t'interweb / TV news as at least it's about things happening TODAY

Why do I laugh at The Sun? well becuase you can read an entire copy anbd not find very much in the way of actual news at all (though know who is shagging who if only you knew who the fuck they actually are)

So eprhaps I'm not right on enough for The Sun? Could well be tbh.

After a while The Times seemed to be going round in circles anyway, and the Indie just wanted to tell me we're all going to die, couldn't get to grips with the Guardian so gave up.

You've lost me. Are you suggesting that we hate the DM but buy it regularly?

Can't speak for anybody else but I have bought the DM once in my life.

Suspect we can't win - either we say when we read it (MILs house, dentists etc) or we look like we're spouting about something we know nothing about. Hardly bluster or an excuse.

I make it my business to know who's peddling sexist pish. If you chose to ignore the mass media then that's your choice but most MNers I guess prefer to be informed across the board.

Just the headlines jumping out from the newsstands each day give you the basics of what each paper has on it's agenda. Hard to ignore really.

BTW When I was a teen I did buy sunday sport a bit actually, but yes to lagh at the cra stories- hitlers bones found on the moon etc.

Apparently dh's work covered that as well I just ofund out but think he saw that in the same criteria as the fifty plus porn etc and not quite what you take home to the Missus (he denies ever reading it buyt an office full of men and access to pretty much all the free porn they oculd read- yeah Ok )

read what you wish.we live in liberal democracy

this faffing about alluding to knowledge of DM but hey no direct contact- oh no that is restricted to others.however lets all bray that we hate DM

I read the Sport quite a bit whne I was a teen too - it was always on the table at tea break time when I was first working.

I remember it as a bit like a comic with tits in it.

The Daily Record provided the quality news reportage for me in those days

What is this Daily Mail of which you speak?

Oh, my computer just exploded into a cyber-orgasm.
