Yes, mostly. She likes the crossword in the magazine. When we do get the Mail I skim the political and financial articles, the rest doesn't interest me. The acerbic reaction to the Mail here is, IMHO, overzealous. The paper of record (no doubt held in high regard by many here) is far from perfect, often printing duff or sycophantic articles. The old maxim of 'don't believe everything you read' applies to all newspapers.She buys it on a saturday for the mag
What an absolute rag of a 'newspaper.'
The Sun without the porn.
Can't see what the problem is specifically with the Daily mail. All the press is biased or has its own agenda in some way or another. The only difference is the way it's sold to the readers.
wiki said:The parent company Daily Mail in London has also faced allegations back in 1997 of anti-Irish prejudice, and has been reported to the Press Complaints Commission on these grounds by non-governmental organisation from Northern Ireland the Pat Finucane Centre.
In April 2009, it was pointed out by popular British science blog The Lay Scientist that while the Irish Daily Mail were campaigning for the reintroduction of the HPV vaccine in Ireland, the Daily Mail in London were printing stories overwhelmingly attacking the vaccine [11]. While some might see this as a sign of the Irish paper's independence from the British Daily Mail, the apparent contradiction was condemned by many, including comedy writer Graham Linehan [12]
That would depend on my political views.Yes but would you prefer an agenda promoting arty left leaning liberalism and veggie-ism - and well written - e.g. The Guardian? May not be to everyone's taste but not exactly dangerous.
Or an agenda promoting moral panic, jingoistic traditional values, homophobia and racism - and often poorly written - like the DM?
Ask yourself what's worse?My objection is not simply that the Mail is right wing, it is because it expresses it's editorial stance in a particularly unfair and nasty manner.
Ask yourself what's worse?
Insidious propaganda, or blatant propaganda.

Most people buy the paper that empathises with their views. Why buy a paper that leaves you seething?
of Atilla the Hun.The Times is slightly right
of Atilla the Hun.
I would say that The Independent is fairly OK. The Grauniad has too many long haired men and short haired ladies to be taken seriously. The Times for those who think that Britannia STILL rules the, um, ........ whatever.there is only one UK paper that is not left or right wing -
The Financial Times. By far the best paper in the UK, devoid of leaning, just great coverage.
Otherwise you have the Guardian and Independent for the left and the Telegragh for the right. The Times is slightly right but fairly central I would say.
The rest are chav rags.
It's a strange way of settling bets, but hey, if you're happy (and I'm sure the bookie is) I suppose it's a win-win.... My local bookie gives me the freebie CD always and the rest of the paper I use to light my fire...
