The f****** Daily Mail

I agree Artdecogran and have changed to another newspaper!

We should do what the Aussies do in their Daily Mail----answer these headlines with the only way that Aussies know how . They're not as easily taken in. I'm surprised it's still in print there.

Artdeogran It's difficult at present to target any of their usual victims- lefties, public servants, the unemployed so they have to find something else to scare people with. Watch out for stories about little green men and maybe something nasty in the woodshed.

I find most of the papers depressing tbh, all focusing on negativity. That’s why news of Sir Capt Tom was such a change and cheered us all up. Like you I long for a few normal happy stories.

I gave up buying daily newspapers after my dad died 9 years ago.
I work on a need to know basis and quite frankly, the crud that is printed in many newspapers these days, I don't need to know!

Before I changed to another paper The Daily Mail featured on it's front page an article about the TV programme Normal People - apparently the female star's real life boyfriend has a silver chain around his neck the same as her TV boyfriend!!!!! That was the final straw for me!

Try The Guardian online. Excellent reporting and no Daily Mail-type c**p.

Every morning I tell myself not to read it because it’s usually depressing but I end up reading it anyway as I don’t watch the news, and I need to keep up a bit with what’s happening.

No matter your politics or outlook on life - no wonder you're full of dread if you solely rely on the DM for information!

Its not a good paper I thought everyone knew that.

Dreadful paper why do normally, sensible people read it, take it, buy it ....90% is made up with huge agendas
Save your money or give it to your kitten puppy charities

We get the Daily Mail on Saturday purely for the TV magazine, the editorial content quite often makes me quite cross. The Guardian and Indy (including the "I") are best fo objective reporting. I don't get a daily paper regularly so rely on the TV and Radio to keep informed. The way that so many accept Brexit mystifies me. They thought it was wrong once how come they have changed their minds, now it seems even more wrong?

I used to foolishly believe everything I read in the papers. (Daily Mail but now don't trust any of them). I usually scared myself silly with doom and gloom reports on this food item or that medication. Now I take it all with a pinch of salt and read up evidence from reliable sources.

Could I recommend the i? I, independent, cheap (65p), eR, an editor who listens to the readers and a great puzzle section!

eR = cleat!

Or even clear

I don’t take a paper but I totally agree Kate the ‘i’ paper is the only one I would read

Cindersdad I also only buy the Mail on a Saturday, solely for the enclosed TV magazine. I read the magazine cover to cover, but the paper, (if you can call it that - it's more of a comic) gets thrown in the bin - where it belongs!

Don’t read stuff if it upsets you.

‘Where ignorance is bliss,.....’

Artdecogran when we had all that rain over the winter, I did say that the first water company or anyone, in fact, to mention the d word and water rationing should be sacked
(Or words to that effect!)..

I haven't looked at any newspaper for weeks, if not months, apart from following an occasional link to something that may look interesting.

My BIL saves the inner puzzle pages of the Daily Mail for me so I get to do the cryptic crossword and sudoku and I actually buy the Saturday Mail for the TV guide which is good.

I tend to get my news online from BBC, Sky etc and rarely read a particular newspaper all the way through, more selected articles highlighted by friends and family.

We used to buy the DM on Saturday for the TV guide.
And Monty Don for me.
DH liked the puzzle pages too.

There, I've confessed and feel no shame.

I dont tend to read what I think may be rubbish and am rather cynical anyway.

However, haven't been out for months so DH hasn't bought one.

I don't actually buy papers nowadays but I do like the Mail on Sunday for the supplements!

Now, I am going to look up the asteroid story, also the one about the magnetic field.
Then ask DH, who is an amateur astronomer, what he thinks.

I stopped buying newspapers years ago. The Daily Mail is the Daily Fail! Any old dross and they print it. They make stuff up and I would never read it again. Yes, I did read it once but the dross was too much. Infact if it was softer paper then I would use it to wipe my bum!!!!
