Who actually reads the daily mail ?

I read it. 90% of the news comes from the wire and is the same on every news website anyway. the mail online has an OK app that I use on my tablet. A lot of the articles are not very good but some are funny and I like leaving the anti feminist argument to try and give some balance as it's very Marxist and feminist at times, well most media is.I don't read old style papers though.

Is the Mail actually feminist?

(Genuine question - I've never gotten the impression that it's anything of the sort, quite the opposite, but I don't read it)
 
My parents...

I have no problem with people reading it... But it annoys me when people take what they write as fact... /sigh

I think it can be but also comes out with opposite stories as well but some stories are clearly feminist. They have a lot of women staff due to the femail section and celeb sections and they overflow in to the other sections. But with all the half naked women I could see how it could appear non feminist.

They had a story on Xmas which was about a women leaving her husband and about how happy she was because he always hated Xmas. It was very one sided and promoted divorce and feminism, as example.

a lot of the female employees will write an article about themselves in third person it's very strange they obviously troll there readers on purpose too which I find funny

I think it was another 3rd person article and the person the article was talking about was actually the employee that wrote it

That's more like the impression I get ^

That being: They publish apparently-feminist pieces as a baiting strategy to get their readership worked up. In the same way as their regular stock-in-trade of stories about "political correctness gone mad".

I mainly switch between the Guardian and the Mail websites. Read both versions of the same story and assume the truth lies in the middle.

This is what I do...

I read the website - mostly the headlines, skim through the article then chuckle at the comments...

they also have regular bikini pics of random 'celebs'... makes for interesting lunchtime browsing

Yep, pretty much this also. They've got a lot of headlines in a small area of screen so my article per square inch per second is quite high.
:D
 
The paper and the website are completely different - my local Chinese takeaway always has a copy of the Mail which I sometimes read while waiting - the paper is totally dry and boring imo, with few of the "OMG scandal!" type website articles. The political bias of the paper is much more obvious than the website if you can believe that. It should be noted that the paper and the website have different editors, who are said to hate each other with a passion.

IMO the paper is targeted mainly at affluent, middle-class, female Conservative voters, whereas the success of the website is due to them having a wider appeal, particularly in the USA, with a focus on celeb gossip, visuals (i.e. bikini shots) and Click Bait articles that generate ad revenue. It's interesting that other free online newspapers, like The Guardian, have started to copy this Click Bait mechanism - see most Comment is Free articles.
 
I don't read it by actually going onto the site from scratch to read it but I do seem to end up on at least 1 Daily Mail article a day somehow. :o

Here's a good one she is the biggest troll I ever saw

My acne nightmare, by Samantha 'I'm so beautiful' Brick: She claimed she was hated for being too attractive, but now, Samantha admits she's not so perfect after all

Samantha Brick famously wrote about the 'hardships of being beautiful'
In her teens she struggled with acne, and now, in her 40s, it is back
Since she started with IVF treatments, she has been battling adult acne
She no longer feels like 'the fairest of them all' when she looks in the mirror

look how she writes in third person as in most of her articles that are actually all about "me"
maybe she is really delusional to this point but I'm pretty sure it's just another standard DM "reaction piece"

Troll your readers, watch the response in the comments, pat your self on the back when they all enter rage mode most blindly unaware it's someone writing about themselfs because they are to stupid to look who wrote the article and note it's the same bloody person.

brightens my day no end
