Those who know me, know that I often use two terms "Norms" - for non swingers and "daily Mail readers" for those who wish to trash everyones fun...
Do you read the Daily Mail (waiting the Daily Male jokes, or I prefer The Son jokes), why do you read the daily mail?
Does anyone agree with me about the Daily Mail? |

I don't like it any more than Murdoch's or Desmond's or the Barclay Brothers' products but I have a lot of time for Peter Oborne who writes / wrote for the Mail and Telegraph. He is not afraid of having a go at the high and mighty on the right as well as the left. |

"Fascist, xenophobic, self righteous and ignorant.
Apart from that it's great!
Took the words out of my mouth
Mine too!
Even chips would taste bitter out of it!"

I read the Daily Mail on line every day and have great fun e-mailing the nasty articles to my sister in Italy - and she'll do the same to me.
We're easily amused! |

When you consider that any newspaper has hundreds of stories to choose from when selecting those to print I'm very uncomfortable reading something that has been 'selected' for me to read when they could have been many more stories that I'd have been more interested in reading but they didn't fit in with the political bias of the paper in question.
I tend to stick to bbc.co.uk these days as I know that their news coverage is pretty reliable and true to the facts as much as it can be. |

My mum gets the Daily Express which isn't much better. 
It's either immigrants or the fooking weather in the headlines.
A couple of months ago it was something like "Ice and Snow to Lock Britain in Chaos Until June"
...now it's "Heatwave Until October: Hose-pipes to be Banned" or some such toss.
My mum has been know to tell me not to go out at the weekend due to the rains of blood or icebergs falling from the sky the rag has predicted. |

Lettuces falling from the sky ? now that would make the sun !!
Personally If i pick up the sun whilst waiting for a haircut or womething it takes me 30 secs to flick through, Mirror is the same and whilst I have been known to buy the Mail or mirror this in now way means i agree with their editorial , just find more accurate sports news in them... |

The Daily Mail website is the most popular UK newspaper site because it has more shots of Z-list celebs in bikinis than a Big Brother reunion. It's evil genius really: use what you slag off to a great extent to generate internet traffic.
As for the paper, many rival journalists whilst disagreeing with the Mail's ethos praise the paper's layout, etc. It has a reassuringly bland form and uses its deceptively benign appearance to peddle more salacious gossip than the News of the Screws, albeit without the tits (except Littlejohn) and fanfare.
All newspapers are ideologically compromised anyway. |

"I don't read any of the newspapers... they're all as bad as each other and I much prefer living in my own little bubble! "
Another who doesn`t buy newspapers! I used to have to get the Sun because Mum had to do the bingo. One day, they wrote their own headlines because they`d libled Elton John and proudly announced "We pay Elton John £XXXXXX!" (cant remember how much it was but I thought that`s my bloody money you`ve had to give away because of your own incompetance. Last newspaper I ever bought! |

Yup,but you forgot hate mongering and misogynistic.My current fave mail quote.
A banker, a Daily Mail reader and a benefit claimant are sitting at a table sharing 12 biscuits. The banker takes 11 and says to the Daily Mail reader, 'Watch out for the benefit claimant he wants your biscuit'

"Have to admit, I do often find myself on the Daily Mail website!
They have a huge site and are always high ranked.... why??
Large number of xenophobic bigots in the UK???"
Actually if you read the comments many are from overseas,particually america.Explaining why Mail online often has more US than british stories. |

I can say, hand on heart, that I have read the Daily Mail since I left school in the early 70's and as a newspaper, I enjoy it.
Yes, I'm very much aware of its' shortcomings and defined political bias, but I can make an informed independent decision not necessarily in line with their preachings.
But then, what newspaper these days doesn't have some poitical leaning to a lesser or greater degree?
At least the Daily Mail isn't like the Daily Express, who continue to bring up the Princess Diana "thread" at every opportunity, and will continue to do so after all of us have popped our clogs!  |

Indeed it was some time ago! Back in the 1980`s or 90`s if my memory serves me corretly! |
