I never/very rarely buy newspapers and only read online unless it's the free Metro or Evening Standard (I'm in London so get them). I tend to read the Daily Mail online as a bit of a (not so) guilty pleasure and the Guardian for more serious things but not necessarily news - I read the society, comment and education (work in academia) sections, and life and style at the weekends.
I think they should all be read with some criticism, whether they're the right wing tabloids or the left wing broadsheets, I've seen as much rubbish in the Guardian as in the Daily Mail to be honest; some of the writing in the comment sections is appalling.

Only read papers online - why pay when you don't have too? This list makes me sound like a right numpty, but I read the DM (for a laugh), The Sun (for the daft bits of celeb news) and The Telegraph (to get a proper read).

Very rarely buy a paper as online, but if I do or if I take a sub via Kindle for hols it's either the Torygraph or the Times.

Rarely buy a paper unless travelling these days. Wouldn't have the Daily Crapograph, Express or Sun in the house so it would probably be the Guardian, Times or Daily Mail depending on what's in it.
At home, sometimes buy the local paper for local news and events.

I am an avid reader though haven't bought a regular newspaper for years - I do read the Telegraph for the columnists and letters, the boys have The Sun with it's surprisingly good crosswords - anything else I see laying about and the Financial Times for the features - they did one on the Shuttle after it blew up and it was some of the best layman journalism about a technical subject I've seen.
Rather disappointed by the number of posters saying that they would touch this or that with a barge pole - what kind of attitude is that? Hardly a modern inclusive one.

I quite like the independent for articles but I don't buy newspapers either. All about online I mostly read BBC for news.
I am a Daily Mail reader and find that I agree with most of its views ! But the best thing about it is the Garfield cartoon !
