More Daily Mail nonsense

[Alan]

Except it isn't because I couldn't bring myself to post the offending article, but this is a very good response.

I just read the article you linked to...and kind of thought/hoped it was unfair.

So I went to the Daily Mail website, and read the original article.

This springs to mind:

Wow, I just looked up the article in question and I was pretty horrified at her attitude.

What a self important bitch!

I'd like to think The Daily Mail is just one huge trolling exercise. Unfortunately I think that's only partly true.

I'm sure reading it can't be good for your health. Must cause high blood pressure whichever side of the political divide you're on. I really must stop looking at it as it just makes me angry, which sadly I think is the point. Scum

Tis a shame, because the DM have by far the best Sports coverage and football columnists in this country.

[Russ Greaves]

Doesn't that cantankerous old git Powell write for the Mail? Or not anymore? Whenever I read anything by him he just used to trot old tired old cliches about 'overpaid primma donnas' and such like.

[ChrisVessey]

I think he retired a few months ago.. could be wrong though.

Ha, that really is unbelievable. I genuinely wonder how anyone can read that and take it even slightly seriously; the worrying thing is that plenty of people obviously do.

"But this is an emergency", then later, when asked why she doesn't go to Accident & Emergency if it's an emergency: "I'm sure they wouldn't classify a routine jab as an emergency." No, they wouldn't. What a shame she was so put out.

Great blog! Shows what a ridiculous planet DM journalists live on, like the majority of their readers!

[Lurid]

As GBC points out, they live on this one. Sad, but true. I don't read it, but someone must, to keep it in business. They pay to read it!

[jasonhall]

I hate that paper and that woman is vile. Unsurprisingly 'We're sorry but reader comments are currently unavailable'

[shaunxX]

Norman Tebbit's column on a Sunday is a highlight, along with the sports and finance columns. And for those that don't read it there are a number of balanced stories against right and left wing.

[ChrisVessey]

True Shaun, but that doesn't fit in with the popular view of Daily Mail bashing that everyone signs up to these days!

[Russ Greaves]

Defending it on the basis that it has some good bits is a bit like saying Hitler once got a round in, so he wasn't all bad.

[oliworth]

I'm not sure everyone signs up to Daily Mail bashing, just those that quite understandably see the sensationalist, hate-filled articles that get flagged up all too often, from which they draw their own conclusions.
