Daily Mail is extremely useful tbh. Like today, thanks to the Mail I now know that those sexy dimples above a girl's butt are called venus dimples.

Apart from Fox News, you mean?

But they're not news... they're entertainment. They said so in a court case.

Yeah. Appeal to the ignorant masses.

To take the largest share of your market in the entire world is no mean feat. Your comment really says more about your ignorance I'm afraid.

****, gossip and reinforcing the racist views of their readers. Yep they know what they are doing.

Ah, the old racism card. Does that still work anymore? I'm pretty sure I read something on the DM about that, something to do with frozen precipitation.

Hey guys, here's a great idea right. Let's take the worlds most popular website, you know, the one we all hate right cos we're better than than them right. So I was thinking, let's call them all RACISTS. Then, we can ignore absolutely everything they say! Yay! What a good idea.

Are you genuinely asking if racism is still something to be concerned by? And, further, if being labelled as such still "work(s) anymore"?

Because yes, and it's not a 'card', what on earth is wrong with you?

I don't think anyone is saying that. The DM is unapologetically right wing, is very liberal (lol) with it s fact-checking and despises women, foreigners, people left of Stalin, gays, and anyone who is not a 50 year old white, right-leaning male from Surrey. That's its market and it does well in that segment which, before Trump, would have been seen as unusual or at the very least highly immoderate.

I haven't checked but I think reddit is more popular/used than the DM but that's hardly an aspirational goal given that its filled and viewed by some of the worst margins of society. Ask me about the SA-enforced pedo close down and why its owners and moderators are entirely repugnant.

Yeah it doesn't work anymore. ********** have used up the deck, sorry about that.

It was the worlds most popular news website a few years ago, pre Trump. No idea if it still is. I didn't realise the world was made up of 50 year old white males from Surrey though. I must get out more.

Racism doesn't matter. Okay.

No, it wasn't.

e: news website ... perhaps, although that's stretching the definition a lot. I'll redact my "no" as that may be correct.

This ^ was in relation to my direct question as to whether racism is still something to be concerned by.

I'm confused why you're confused.

Shouting racist everywhere has watered it down to the point it's not even used correctly anymore. You knew that's what I meant of course.

Feigning ignorance is another tactic waning in effectiveness too I'm afraid.

I like the way you asked what's wrong with me. Implying I somehow have a moral deficit because I object to the incorrect and overuse of the term racist. Ho, ho, ho, that was a good one, got to love those personal attacks. Textbook stuff right there.

When someone is quite categorically saying that you are the problem or the issue or the noise then it's a bit of a logic leap to then claim 'feigning'.

Moral deficit is a great term to shorten your viewpoint.

No, but a blanket accusation of the Daily Mail pandering to racist views was the topic of this discussion.

I don't quite understand this.

I'm happy to accept any compliment.

As far as I'm aware racism in this country is Illegal. So it seems odd that a publication expounding racist views is, firstly allowed and secondly so popular. I've compiled a little list here of things I guess you consider racist, but actually aren't racist.

1. Brexit. Racist
2. Feeling millions of white E.Europeans should not gain immediate access to needs based welfare without any contribution. Racist
3. After finally breaking free from hundreds of years of religion dictating aspects of our lives, not wishing to import an even less tolerant religion. Racist
4. Feeling no obligation to help 20-30 year old children. Racist
5. Talking about the unsustainability of allowing economic migrants to game the system by saying they're not. Racist

Am I right, am I? I bet I am.
