FFS I am sat in a cafe Reading the Daily mail ( bless me father for I have sinned) and there ia a section called "today on mumsnet"

[flatcapandpearls]

Why would an intelligent website aimed primarily at women sell it's soul to this rascist, woman rating rag?

Ah, I get it LoveaSugarRush.

You're a twat taking the piss.

My mistake, as you were.

is it not satire?

it' daftpunk here btw....just so you know.

and no..i'm not taking the piss..

Well that explains things.

Could you please pop the spoon back to Sn, we haven't had a kick off thee in weeks and I'm getting bored ** have been away so if I missed any- dammit!

Yes they ahev their own agenda, one I find horrid.

Why does it have to tell you the price of the house someone lives in (as long as it's in an acceptable area)? You know, "Mr & Mrs Smith were awoken to the sound of three large burly nasty immigrant men with AIDS breaking down the door of the £350,000 Berkshire house they share with their daughters Jocasta, 16, and Thomasina, 19."

oooooooh fuck

ok

was about to post response, but I don't think I'll bother now

Ah Dp fair enough

At least I now you're straight (in both senses of the phrase though natch i dontc are about sexuality ) and not a random strolled in stirrer

Don't read the Guardian either btw, boring.

You can tell exactly what DM readers are really like from reading their comments on the website. Many of them live abroad (so heh-heh-heh about their views on immigration - although I don't suppose they realise that ), most of them can't spell or punctuate, & at least 50% of them blame "NuLabour" for all the world's ills.

Its quite amusing. In a really depressing sort of way.

Well, they certainly have a strange idea of what 'this week' means - they have featured this thread about fake tan for kids, which ran for three days in January

Sadly, AnyFucker is not quoted, though Ninkynorks is....

peachy...i have the special needs section hidden...i think i'm banned from there anyway...god forbid i say anything about ADHD...

you should be banned full stop, really

but your repetitiveness has diluted the effect of your views, so we can put up with you

would be fairer if you stuck to one posting name though, so people don't think "maybe there's some point in challenging this oddball"

If you read Flat Earth News it gives you some truly hair raising facts about Daily Mail bad practice.

So can we run a book on whether the next 'Today on MN' column will include:

Today, the majority view among MNers was that the Daily Mail is an unpleasantly biased paper, which has some lazy journalists who just pinch stuff off the net.'

Should we explicitly give the DM permission to exactly transcribe this thread?

DaftPunk is quite right. I'm a Guardian reader and it is true that I am a middleclass do gooder; I really really won't be happy until everyone is gay and living life as a "minority". Meanwhile I'm working hard to fight against my white heterosexuality and can tell you it's an uphill battle.

It does amaze me how often the DM is linked here, I can understand my gran, who left school at 14 and has never been asked to think critically buying it to it (much as I dispear of her) but its agenda doesn't seem to 'fit' with MN

I think it has printed random made up stuff in the past, I don't think it is alone in doing that. I'm sure I was told that most of the 'Loony left council' stories that ran in the early 90's were completely made up, black bin bags considered racist and the like..

ha ha greensleeves..unfortunately the decision to ban me is not with you (or the other 200 posters who would love to see me gone)

what a damn shame..

I quite like being a do-gooder, far better than a do-badder i reckon......

Dp I suggest staying away from SN good idea ROFL, think you'd be mobbed (esp. today as poor riven is being attacked elsewhere anywhere, and you know- we hunt as a pack )

But DP i;ve been practising so...

wait for it....

fuck off misses

ta

I certainly don't have the time or the inclination to campaign for your removal daftpunk - I just automatically skim past posts with your name on them these days

stick to the one name though, eh?

i do stick to one name..i only changed today..i'm on a thread with some friends..we talk about food and boring stuff...i have a sugar addiction...will change back to DP tomorrow.

In fairness, at least the Daily Mail has had the good manners to acknowledge that is has used Mumsnet as a source. Most newspapers have been using MN for inspiration for years now.
