Jessica23 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Just to add, I do it all online, bar the occasional Guardian on a Saturday, and supplement with tv news sites, blogs, twitter etc. Some people earlier on the thread said they don't like newspapers because of the opinions - that's exactly why I do like them. I don't read papers just to find out what's happened, but the see what the comment/reaction is - hence reading a range of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, I wouldn't not read something just because I don't agree with it. How else do we get a balanced view of things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chem1st Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Shame the Sheffield Star isn't on the list. And a shame the dailymail thread got deleted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This alone accounts for me still reading SF...I don't want to spend the whole of my life in a bubble of right-thinking, sympathetic, thoughtful types Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wednesday1 Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 The Guardian (though I did stop buying it for a while after they announced their support for the Lib Dems in the last election:gag:), The Sheffield Star and the Green 'un. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John X Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Yes that was run by Eddie Shar. There was all sorts of industrial strife when he introduced a computerised printing mechanism and got rid of loads of printers, if I remember rightly.. Funny what sticks in your mind. The northern distribution was done in vehicles leased from Salford Van Hire. On the news one night they showed the trucks leaving the plant in such a hurry to avoid the pickets, that one came out before the roller shutter had been properly raised and hit it such a belt it ripped it off. Like I say, it's funny what you remember. (and it was Eddie Shah, by the way) John X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rampent Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I read old Daily Mails from the thrift store. No difference to the new ones. And stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marshlad Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 I read the Daily Mail online. I think it is a good read & I don't see why certain people have issues with it. The Mirror has become unreadable since David Cameron got in. Virtually every article in the paper apart from the sports section is an attack on the Tories. Every writer & columnist except the sports reporters is on anti Tory mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
