Why do so many folks ridicule the Daily Mail?

andraste said:
Mostly because it is an odious, scaremongering daily propaganda pamphlet that masquerades as a newspaper.

It is Jeremy Kyle in printed form.

This....having said that it is still my online read of choice so I can have a rant at the latest nonsense it is serving up.!

It also has Liz Jones as one of its highly paid Columnists....need I say more?

Please do not even get me started!

she's intolerant, condescending, pompous and antagonistic towards anyone who, well, isn't like her... because she lies and forgets what she's already previously written... because she's a very poor journalist... because she's claims to be vegan but only when it suits/she remembers... but mostly because she's paid over £200,000 to peddle her twaddle.

And she keeps calling her bloody horses hooves PAWS!!!!

And Breathe

Oh all right! Substitute "odd" or "strange" or simply, and probably accurately "badly brought up".:p

How do you know? I can't say I've come across her much in life... any photos I see she's walking in a dress holding her mums hand... What exactly is wrong with that?

I take it you don't like her very much then? ;)
 
Poor Liz..she moves to the middle of every hunters dream..Exmoor..then is anti any field sports/farming..writes about the locals,they don`t much like that and she wonders why.Bless her,it is with morbid curiousity that every Sunday the back inside page of the Today mag (Mail on Sunday)is immediately read first..she is a good entertaining writer,once you "geddit". What I fail to understand is how she managed to almost become bankrupt on her salary. She is being HUMEROUS folks..geddit?
 
My MiL believes every word of it.. and will clip articles and post them to her son's (our most recent one, delivered in a brown envelope inside a plastic takeaway tub by one of my BiL's was that contact lenses WILL give you eye ulcers)...
Did I mention she's utterly barking?!
 
Oh Lordy..sounds familiar;my MiL heard Dame Edna Everage doing a spoof on National Shark Week..you know,they`re misunderstood ,just stroke them nicely..took that seriously and blagged on about it. Your MiL sounds "interesting!":D
I used to hate Liz..but now I find her hilarious.
 
...because the more you read it the more you realise one of the editors working for the Daily Mail a) hates women b) hates working women c) hates working mothers.
... because it hates the BBC.

I still read it for the gossip, though. ;)

Absolutely!! And it`s quick crossword is so easy it boosts one`s confidence no end..every day:D
 
I do get the Mail on Sunday when I remember. Always read Peter Hitchin to raise my blood pressure cos I will always violently disagree with his rather "firm" opinions. Love Liz Jones cos at the end of the day, while yes she moans a lot, she is the only woman actually writing about how life is and not the wonderful airbrushed view that everyone else likes to portray. God forbid anyone vaguely in the public eye should expose themselves as human but she does. Don't agree with her views on how she keeps her horses (stables are wrong, shoeing is wrong) but she does take care of her animals, broke her heart over her cat dyiing so I have time for her.

And always read Piers Morgan. Someone else who is not afraid to say, "look at me, I am having a fab time" and then will happily include his various spats/antis as well.

But overall - take it with a large pinch of salt ..

Thanks for that! The Dan and Dan Daily Mail song is a classic!! Perfectly sums up the Daily Mail and its sensational reportage! Theres as much news in Heat magazine! Just because there are no topless women in it doesn't make it any classier than the ones that have!

you need to look at the sort of nuts who read or write in the guardian for the people to blame .. not the mail or it's readers...

That would be me then!
Actually what you have said summarises for me the attitude of the Daily Mail and many of its readers very nicely. I read the Guardian and I probably am left wing. However, I can appreciate that other people have different views and different life experiences and so their politics are different from mine. This does not make them or me "nuts". I can debate issues intelligently with people who have different views without having to resort to insults.

The Daily Mail seeks to vilify people who do not live the "Daily Mail" way. It does not encourage any sort of debate on how we can change society and improve society.
 
Oh God..those vitamin pills we`ve been taking cause CANCER in this week`s Health issue.Better book my plot now then.:D Love it for pure amusement,esp their April 1st issue..can remember when they said Tony Blair had painted no 10 `s door RED:rolleyes:..with pic of it..that got me swearing all day.

This could easily be said of the Guardian in the way it whips its readership up over the issue of Global Warming - sorry it's called 'Climate Change' now ;)

That's because Green is the new red, and just another way for the left to acheive its
destructive agenda....give me the daily mail sticking up for the morals and aspirations of responsible hard working
folk any day .....

I work in advertising so have regular contact with Associated Newspapers who own the DM. Down at Northcliffe House it's known as the Hately Mail. It's not been known to let the truth get in the way of a good story - and they're very open about that at Associated to us media buyers! I just feel sorry for the people who believe what they read in it.

But I do like the DM. It's reasonably soft, strong and thoroughly absorbent.
