Daily Mail to Buy Out The Telegraph?

fancythat

^The Independent Newspaper, of course.

I have always thought of it as left wing for sure.
Right from it's start.

I havent looked at it in about a year, but I have looked every year just to see if it had changed.

I think you are influenced by your own political orientation in thinking that fancythat, as we all are. The i and the Independent are objectively the most politically neutral.

..but they aren't buying the Mail or Telegraph.

There is a very big difference between the Guardian and the Independent - I do see the Independent as middle ground.

Indeed Galaxy, I agree about that sector too.

Well yes but so is the middle/upper class university educated identity politics vote which has very little understanding of the struggles faced by some.

My first thought is they deserve each other.

I also think its a bit of a "low" and rather ineffective way to have a go at me eazybee:

If I really generalise on a subject in a particular discussion, by all means point it out then and there. (As long as you point out when others generalise, of course?)

I disagree very strongly.

My "generalisations" in this case for example are generally based on social and economic research about how different groups react.

The "Red Wall" phenonium is alive and kicking in our northern post industrial city, for example, right in my district. it was and has been a powerful force in recent elections, and definitely, going out knocking on doors, locally.

Yes, Wyllow, you make an awful lot of generalisations.

I think wealth does make a difference to ones social and sometimes political outlook, although of course it is a generalisation, ie not all rich think Y, and not all deprived think Z.

It won't make any difference.

Yup. I live in an area where we have from the very rich indeed to the very deprived. That is all I meant, and no more.

I just happen to believe that ones incomes do actually make a difference to ones outlook - are you saying it doesnt?

And especially the DM puts out its views right down to every level of society, (watching those buying it at my local Spar) and they believe they are reading the truth , not a POV.

Well, wow.

'Every level of society.' ???

Does anyone know of a moderate newspaper which offers centrist views?

The Independent Newspaper, of course.

Horrified but not surprised the Daily Mail is buying the Telegraph.

I expect more lazy sensationalism from the Telegraph, which is a shame, because even tho I am left wing, the Telegraph genuinely used to be a respected paper with a variety of views..

Can people really not realise that when newspapers are owned by the Rich and Entitled, their views will represent those Entitled?

I have never thought of the Daily Mail as a newspaper.

It’s good to read newspapers with different opinions, otherwise you remain in a bubble of your own making 🤷‍♀️

I do look at sometimes just to see what some people are reading. Normally only look at the headlines as most of it is behind a pay wall now. But that is enough to confirm that is sensationalism and click bait.

To whoever asked - we have 2 papers - The Times and The Mail - delivered everyday by the papershop in the next village.

There is one FriedGreenTomatoes2, The Times?

The country needs a serious right wing newspaper for balance. The Daily Mail & The Telegraph (yes, I subscribe) versus The Guardian and The mirror.

I agree that there is too much celeb tittle tattle these days, but that's sadly the world we live in.

I would say give Rothermere a chance, at least it stays British - sort of.

fancythat yes we collect the newspapers ourselves rather than having them delivered.

It’s no hardship as we have several newsagents within a mile or so which is useful as the Mail in particular, does tend to sell out quickly.

I was delighted to hear this. My two favourite newspapers.
We buy proper printed newspapers which in my opinion is preferable to reading the online versions.

True, you could save money, and just buy one of them, as they will be cloned. I suppose every cloud has a silver lining.

Oh no!
Coupled with John Lewis closing their carpet department.
What next.

Where did you get the John Lewis info from?

Magenta8 no problem, we all make mistakes 👍

I have always been right of centre, definitely not far right though.

I now find both the so called far left and right are entrenched and immovable in their views, oh for a centrist common sense politician/party.

Actually I did say it was trashy and bigoted.{confused}
Aapologies, its been a long day.
