I like their false rage at the growing number of children with eating disorders and body dysmorphia, which goes side by side with their 'stories' pointing out how 'fat' a size six celebrity is, or how 'ugly' Katy Perry looks without make-up.

I live in a village with a lot of Mail reading, rugby playing, hunt supporting (non-)farmers (land all earning set aside payments from the EU or grazing for horses). They all believe that big towns (Bristol) have more Asians and Blacks than English, and that all blacks are drug dealling burglars, all Asians are fundamentalist muslim terrorists, people who live in council houses are scroungers. And they use the Daily Mail as evidence of this. I keep up to date with it to counter their blind ignorance.

I once had the 'pleasure' of being involved with a story being written by the Daily Mail. They lied at every opportunity and left out any fact that got in the way of the agenda they wish to produce.
Anybody that believes the tripe they put into that newspaper should be rounded up and escorted out of the country along with all teenagers, asylum seekers, public sector workers, postmen, Muslims, people on benefits etc that the Daily Mail readers think should be kicked out too.
I believe that the CEN is owned by the same company, hence the doom and gloom, Cambridge is awful attitude that we have to read about in our local paper.

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. You could say its a parson's egg!

sadly for some it is the most widely read paper in the country, as any even slightly educated person can assess for themselves any bias in the stories it does highlight a lot of very valid otherwise hidden truths about the state of this Country. I love it, even though I only buy Sundays for the sport and finance, because it winds up all the lefties who believe their views are the most widely appreciated.

I don't think any 'lefties' think their views are the most widely appreciated. We're all too aware of the country being full of idiots who think the mail highlights valid truths as oppose to just talking shite.
It's actually their own readers who their journalists aim to wind up, lefties getting angry is just a by product. Winding up lefties doesn't increase their readership and make them money which is what they're bothered about.

Sadly not quite the case according to wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_NewsBut nonetheless, both titles still deal in scaremongering! Apologies I am several years out of date. Northcliffe Media, part of the Daily Mail and General Trust plc sold the newspaper to Iliffe News and Media which is a major part of Yattendon Group. They haven't lost that depressing edge though!
