The Daily Mail

I need to order Hadley Freemans new book

Its important to read things which hold different opinions to yourself whether those are right or left wing.

Owen Jones may well need a lot of maturing but whilst he looks like he's fresh out of the 6th form he is in fact nearly 40. It seems from the testaments of the two female journalists who left The Guardian, Hadley Freeman who now writes for the Sunday Times and Suzanne Moore he is shielded by editor Katherine Viner. Anyone who has perused the many threads over on MN will know how loathed he is by so many posters for his perceived misogyny and it is also striking how many of them were once avid Guardian readers but have now abandoned that paper for other publications.

I'm increasingly hearing The I is a paper worth investigating for its non partisan stance.

I have not bought a newspaper in print fur many many years!

And, by the way, I thought this thread was supposed to be a discussion, not just people chiming in to say what paper they read.

But why do people read the DM when it's known to be right-wing biased and to print questionable news items?
It can't just be for the puzzles. The little i paper has plenty of those and is reasonably balanced, slightly left-leaning.

Three of us !! I like a different point of view!!!

I can't remember when I last bought or even read a newspaper but it is decades. Partly because I don't have the time and partly because I can't be bothered. I keep myself updated with what I need to know by listening to a couple of radio stations, podcasts and Question Time on Thursday evenings. HIGNFY can also be quite enlightening as can Gransnet

Hetty58, not a very caring daughter if you refuse to buy your mother's preferred reading matter. Why should it matter to you ?
I read the mail online and other newspapers and I would take exception to anyone inferring I was ignorant because I did so.

I don't buy papers. I don't even believe most of the news whether it's on TV or Social Media. Ever since Covid-19 I'm never sure who's exaggerating to scare us or who's just telling downright lies. I take it all with a pinch of salt until I see some more evidence or u yil.it effects me.

I buy it the Saturday Mail for my dad and make sure that I say that loudly to anyone within earshot. He reads it then quotes things back to me as gospel. It’s mostly drivel.

Haven’t read a newspaper OR watched the news since I was 70 ( two years ago) …I figured if I hadn’t been able to change my small bit of the world in 50 years of voting …. what’s the point of reading all the crap they talk and print!

We have the Guardian delivered daily, the I newspaper on a Saturday and the Observer on Sunday. But, I glance at the Daily Mail online for two reasons - the absurd headlines and to wonder who on earth buys and reads this vile newspaper. Surely it can’t just be for the crossword. I also look at CNN online and Fox News. I think I get a fairly balanced view.

I read articles from a wide range of online newspapers, often when friends who know what I like raise my awareness of them. Occasionally the Daily Fail, or Daily Hate Mail as I call it has something of interest but rarely

I dislike Sarah Vine as much as Owen Jones.
But I suspect her memoirs will be interesting, I bet she knows a lot about the shinanegens in the government this past twelve years. There’s a lot to emerge about Gove

Yes I simply ignore Owen Jones. He needs a lot of maturing.

I am signed up for the Guardian snd Independent online which are decent balanced, generally, news.

Even if I don't agree with all the viewpoints (no one is going to always agree) it is done in usually a much more respectful way.

I do glance over articles of papers online when i see a headline of a subject I'm interested it (Brexsh*t and H & M who I support for example)

As an activist I need to know what's going on. I would never subscribe or buy the tabloid trash which are divisive, vindictive and utterly vile

I can't see the point in reading what is basically a comic - not a newspaper. My mother, a lifetime Guardian reader, changed to the DM as dementia set in. I refused to buy it for her!

No need to buy any newspapers or magazines, you can get them all free online by using pressreader app, free from your local council library, just put in your library card number, if you don’t have one you can get one online via your councils app, go to library’s.

Well said " Volver3"!

I used to read Owen Jones as I think it's important to read views different to your own, not really about the gender issue but more a view from the left of the labour party. However I realised it was similar to reading Jeremy Clarkson, just 'of the left', there are much more intelligent, coherent viewpoints from that section of labour.

Out and proud DM reader here and I care not a jot what anyone thinks!!…😜

PS IMO Sarah Vine writes some excellent articles for the DM 👍

I really dislike Owen Jones.

Whitewave, I don’t trust the DM. I find it’s editorials and beliefs abhorrent

It’s uncomfortable to find myself more in tune with its support for jKRowling than I am with Owen Jones in the Guardian
