Jump to: Newest in thread
It's fine to read it, just not to pay for it. Always know what the enemy is thinking!
When travelling abroad I always take a copy of the Daily Fail.
I have this idea that security will see me and it and let me pass and also, I don;t want to tooo relaxed on holiday, so I use it to keep my blood pressure up.

"I have been buying the Daily Mail for over 35 years. It's no worse or better than others!"
The Mail actually has one of the last, genuine teams of investigative staff reporters of any national paper.
Shame it's obsessed with immegrants causing falls in house prices, rises in cancer, and Jeremy Corbyn.
Ho hum. |

I don't read any newspapers though so it could be The Financial Times and I still wouldn't pick it up. |

I was thrown out of my Local Working Mens Club but strangely I was asked to be a Conservative Party Candidate in the Forthcoming "Smelly place in the North" by-election.
So a Win for me I think |

Investigative reporters?
Sadly not in my experience. Very poor standards of journalism aiming to make a fast buck and the truth be damned... |

"Doesn't the Fail have the largest circulation of the daily papers, if it does that must say something?"
Not sure about the print version - but in the list of top 100 websites globally - it trots in at about number 95 or so.

Quite why anybody would still pay money to find out what happened yesterday is a bit of a mystery. Surely the entire concept has been supplanted by the accessibility of the Internet, 24 hour news channels, etc?
..and that's before we start on their various agendas, political and otherwise... |

D'you think Lord Rothermere looks in his (exquisite Louis XIV) mirror in the morning and cries or laughs?
What must be going through his head?

I actually thought that story was made up, coz the news is basically shit mostly.
But, i actually found that photo-shopped poppy story hilarious though, all the other pics people did and photo-shopped poppies into pics of cameron.

I'm thankful we have a free press in this country, good journalism exposes corrupt elites, one such example is the fifa world cups bidding scandals.
The establishment/government have tried and failed to crack down on the free press with recent Sun reporters being taken to court (at huge expense to the tax payer) with 28 out of 29 cases being lost by the establishment and victory for the free press when a public jury cleared them. The 29th case is currently in the appeal process and is likely that case will be lost too. What it boils down to was a personal vendetta by Gordon Brown and the Labour party against the Sun newspaper for switching sides from supporting Labour to the Conservatives back in 2010. Only Gordon Brown didn't see that the public (an independent jury) would not share his and Labours vendetta. We need a good strong free press in this country to keep the establishment in check. |

To be honest I'd read any of them if I found them on a bus and had nothing else to read. I'm more in agreement with _iamondjoe on this. It's impotent to read things you don't think you will agree with. Otherwise you just end up confirming your own bias.
Out of choice I would prefer to read the Telegraph, Independent or Gardian |

Fake outrage. Mail has the largest circulation.
Many years ago it was The Sun, and before that The Mirror, see how times change.
I would hate to find only one newspaper for sale, bit like some of those old countries with the same party in government. .... we havd a choice  |

Bloody good job we all live in a country where currently we can choose which one we read, read several different ones if we wish and balance their content against the TV, the internet and our own experiences and comment freely on them, isn't it? Plenty of places in the World I'm sure people don't have what we have here. Oh, and saying that newspaper content here is shite is interesting because everything on TV we know to be true and unbiased, just like the internet, everything true and unbiased on there too I understand. |

. All these prosecutions are a complete waste of the tax payers money. You would think that the police and cps have better things to do..Still at least 28 were cleared and the other is being appealed . |

None of them. They are all bad because all they do is filter yesterday's news through the filter of their owner's agendas.
I'm all for journalism as a governmental oversight mechanism, but don't see why physical newspapers are required to make that a possibility. |

Employees of one subsidiary were prosecuted, not another.
Journalistic accuracy isn't important to you, clearly... |

Oh come on!!! Hahaha!!
The Express, the Star, the Sun, amongst others are all arguably worse"
You forgot the Mirror and (I even feel dirty typing the word) the Guardian.  |

We read it online as it actually is well laid out the Web page..lots of pics to go with the stories...But it's probably the worse paper for journalism out there all headlines are. Extremely sensationalised completely out of context and they constantly write rubbish about isis. .. immigration... and Kim Kardashian. . Would never pay for it .. love reading the comments after the story though.... |

Very true, their online layout is second to none and the comments section gives a fantastic insight into the human psyche. |

And this is probably why they have such a massive readership.
To clarify... I think all of the newspapers are rags who suit their own agenda. Our local Evening News is just the same. I'm equal in my loathing which is why I choose not to read any of them. |

Which is why I only occasionally read metro when someone else picks it up at work.
Although I have been listening to radio 4 lately |

Since you raise the subject of MailOnline...
You may not be paying for it, but the advertising revenue they get from you clicking on their pages is what keeps them going.
Hence MailOnline being a major provider of clickbait... |

"Would love the Mail haters to suggest which paper one should read.... or even the on they read....
None of them. They are all bad because all they do is filter yesterday's news through the filter of their owner's agendas.
I'm all for journalism as a governmental oversight mechanism, but don't see why physical newspapers are required to make that a possibility."
As long as people enjoy reading them , we do not need to worry too much about the content. |

And who provides the truth? |

I may not often find myself in agreement with what the Guardian says but in terms of quality of content, comment and journalism it's in a totally (and much better) league than the Sun, Mirror, Star, Express or Mail.
I would concede that of the old tabloids the Mail is the best quality and of the old broadsheets the Guardian is probably the worst quality but we're really starting to compare chalk with cheese if we try and lump them altogether. |

I agree.
Confirmation bias is the reason is the reason that people who read The Mail think Guardianistas should be shot and people who read the Guardian think the people who read The Mail are unthinking, heartless cunts.

The Grauniad is in its own way as annoying as The Mail.

Has Owen Jones actually reached puberty yet? He's more annoying than Kate Hopkins imo. |
