Daily Mail was always bad
It was easy back then

But The Indy and The Guardian have become left wing versions of the Daily Mail now
Same kind of sensationalist sh4t stirring but from another angle
Especially in the last couple of years

But there is still hilarious comments and occasional moments of wisdom from people in the comments section of all of them - always worth raking through

You really can't judge a whole readership as being one thing!
That's just being bigoted yourself.
People everywhere can come up with good stuff once in a while.
All forums are the same - you get a mixed bag of people from all perspectives, just like this site

It's all generalities

I don't read the DM for anything more than news articles and a few celeb infos.

I am educated to degree level and can make my own mind up.

I can also count and a few dissenters does not make a newspaper readership defunct.

Good post. I read a variety of papers for balance. It's more interesting to look at things from all sides rather than just closing your mind and saying "I'm not going to read anything that I won't agree with".

Surprisingly whilst reading about CBB in the Telegraph celebs section, I was struck at how inaccurate it was. I am sure the person had not even seen the programme, yet sensationalized it along the lines the Daily Star uses.

I also read the Huffington Post when they have articles I am interested in.

But mention the Daily Mail and it brings out the wolves even when the article began its life in the Pink News.

People, viewers, posters all have their opinions, one each and to generalize on a whole newspaper readership by decrying it is short sighted.

Exactly. It's saying "Every word written in the DM is rubbish because I don't like what they say". Some people are so narrow minded their ears must rub together.
