The Daily Mail

[FryattFox]

I hate the Mail. I'm sure most people do, but I think that it's a disgusting excuse for a 'newspaper'. And if I didn't hate it enough already, they go and prove how vile they are with this.

Twats.

Don't buy it then. It's not rocket science.

Millions of people read it though, and believe what they read, even though it's full of made up bollocks.

Some newspapers make up harmless stuff (London bus found on the moon, Freddie Starr ate my hamster etc), the Mail do it in a way that stirs up hatred and intolerance.

I read the Mail on Sunday, I agree with some of it, disagree with other bits, don't bother reading large chunks of it because I'm not interested. It's no different to any other paper in that respect.

Just because some people don't agree with it's viewpoint doesn't mean
a) It's all lies.
or
b) It shouldn't be allowed.

Wow, I thought they were cleared. I'm glad the mail let us know the truth.

Are you defending the stuff FryattFox linked to?


I would have thought that would make every Daily Mail reader think twice about believing anything they read in that paper.

They wrote 2 stories to cover whichever way the verdict went and by accident posted the wrong one, a bit embarrassing for them possibly, but hardly crime of the century. If it had been any other paper nobody would have batted an eyelid.

I find this obsession with the Mail a bit boring actually.

If they'd just written two stories and published the wrong one by mistake that would be understandable.

But to fill the article with "quotes" that quite clearly were made up is inexcusable and I'm surprised you think it's OK. I'd have said the same thing about any other paper.

Nobody has suggested that the Mail is all lies because they don't agree with its viewpoint, it's because it is a vile rag, full of rancid lies.

You clearly did not read what I posted then.

 

[The Major]

Looking at that site the guy seems obsessed with the Mail, with a couple of bits about about the Express chucked in for balance. Honestly, get a life.

Seeing as you don't believe in censorship, you should support their right to say whatever they want.

I read it yesterday on another forum. I thought it was a bit pathetic then.

 

[Jeff]

I'm so sorry. I admit I was wrong about the Daily Mail.

That's OK, we all make mistakes.

When did I say any different?

I don't give a f*ck what obsessions he has. Assuming that what he posted in this instance is genuine, and I haven't seen any comments or suggestions that it isn't, it's a disgusting abuse of power and journalistic trust. To post quotes from the prosecution that were completely made up is awful, awful reporting, and God only knows what their tabloid news is like if a main headline story can be this embellished.

 

[The Major]

I'm glad we agree.

I'll always support the Mail because when The Sun, The Times, The Express were all kissing Nu Labours arse the Mail were the only news organisation holding that bunch of incompetent hypocrites to account. For that we should all be grateful.

"Justice has been done" and "on a human factor it was sad two young people would be spending years in jail". awful, awful really? Do you think the Mail is the only paper that does that?

Anyway I really don't care. Read whatever paper you like and I'll save my hatred for something important.

Yep.

Nope.

Judging by your choice of Sunday paper, that'll be immigrants, benefit cheats and avoiding cancer.

 

[The Major]

Avoiding cancer is important.
