deadeyeduck Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I think you'd be hard pressed to read, see or hear anything that is free of bias. well i guess thats true but compare it to other papers like the independent and there is quite a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grandad.Malky Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 OK ....so the Independent uses big word like "charabanc" and ...... It’s a compact newspaper- (a broadsheet for the tabloid readers), it makes them “feel “ above the red tops and the mail for that matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teddie Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I thought that was the Express. Monday is Diana day for the express. Yes, sorry the Express were Diana worshipers weren't they, but the Daily Mail, what with Diana and now Bloody Madeleine, it is like being caught in a jabberwocky's net, we know what happened, but they bang on and on about what is supposed to have happened, yet anyone with more than 3 brain cells, knows the truth. I just love the British Media manipulation, seems like if they say it often enough, we will believe 'owt we read and pass it on as truth, it's beyond me how people fall for this media manipulation.

Mathom Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 I think what makes me laugh the most about the Daily Mail is the way that the stories constantly contradict each other. One page will feature a rant about how the young of today are stuck indoors all the time and are fat and the next page will have an editorial about how youths are always hanging out on the streets! It's like the ultimate in paranoia, even more so than Fortean Times! One day they'll be giving away free tinfoil hats. Anyway: Jim Hacker: 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 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. The Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is. Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about people who read the Sun. Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country as long as she's got big tits. So it's a girls' newspaper.

happyhippy Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Its daily Cryptic Crossword alone is worth the cover price for Crossword addicts. I prefer the Grauniad or Indy myself, but the Heil's crossword isn't a bad'un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happyhippy Posted July 20, 2008 Share Posted July 20, 2008 Very true. The Mail espouses traditional English views and values which were entirely the norm among our grandparents' generation, and still should and would be today were it not for the cancers of socialism and political correctness that erode our society. And among my grandparents' generation we had the screaming headline "Hurrah For The Blackshirts!", and the Daily Heil has continued a similar stance ever since, and I hardly think that most of my grandparents' generation were highy enamoured of the Nazis. Each to their own I suppose, but to find a paper published in the UK with a polarised stance, it would have to be the Morning Star, or International Worker (if that's still going).
