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

well my conclusion is

for people who don't like a lynch mob mentality some are doing a really good impression of one here

what next? book burning?

Didn't lynch mobs hang people off of trees?

Surely book burning would come before that as an extreme of intolerance?

Peopleareallowed not to like a paper. On other sites especially you'll find the same dislike for other ones- try reading a copy of the Guardian in my Dad's local!. MN has always had a left (er) wing mentality, part IMO of it's appeal (to me anyway)

oh of course people are allowed to not like a paper

the vitriol on here about the DM is something else, starting a thread about it and everything

yes I know all about lynch mobs and book burning and which comes first and so on

also not sure how much people know about how journalism functions

every paper puts on a slant, including as everyone knows in the choice of stories, and others can be equally unpleasant in comments and cartoons

details about house prices and so on.. that's just local journalism, it's what DM readers obviously respond to

there's a lot I don't like about it.. hatred of social workers there is a particular bugbear for me, but there's other stuff too

but you know, I click on them all, get a rounded view, fave at the moment is the indie, but really if you feel that cross about it you don't ever have to pick it up or click on a link from here

and they can afford to follow stories up and investigate -- if you read the papers a lot it feels like many have been written by press officers

sometimes i think the dm likes to put two fingers up ..that's ok with me

and no, I don't like the blame it loads on the immigrant population for everything

Beacsue it's where my mother gets ALL her information from (apart from the town gossips) .

I too don't understand the vitriol against.
So its shit. yeah, so are all the tabloids.
I like ruddy norah, can read between the lines thank you. I have enough intelligence.
I get it on a sunday. I love reading how miserable Liz Jones is.

Can I have an opinion on the name Leah?? What Job, shop or biscuit will she be likely to go for then???

I just have to know.

Hahaha!! Just another reason to now hate the daily mail!

it's always hilarious how people try to distance themselves from the daily mail on here. they've obviously been reading it or the website but feel they have to go through the most fake of rituals with some sort of transparent justification.

"sorry for the DM link.../i don't usually read the DM but check this out.../ i know iknow i shouldn't look at the DM but..."

why not just link the article and then judge it on it's merits and debunk it that way? or why .link it at all if the default response and caveat is that the DM is all BS. surely it makes a thread redundant?

It is a bit silly to try and justify why you are posting a DM link!

I don't distance myself from the daily mail. I hate it, but do read it online. I also hate the bnp, but have read their online site too.

Although, I do know I shouldn't look at the daily mail as it raises my blood pressure!

It raises my blood pressure too. I only read it when there is a link to a piece from here.

What I hate about the DM is the way it enthusiastically marginalises people and then condemns them for not playing by our rules. Ie, it expects them to do as they're told, but makes clear they are not welcome to mingle among the rest of us.

I find that hypocritical and, frankly, unkind.
