The Daily Mail

The Metro has been getting really bad lately, I remember when I first started reading it (2006-ish) that it was obviously run by animal lovers as every small article was about how someone's pet did something amazing. Back then I thought it was incredibly unprofessional but it's a free paper so print whatever you want. That seems to have died down a bit but now we have articles about everything instead. It's tragic.

Metro is literally the Daily Mail, for free. It's hardly a surprise.

All the big news sites are like this, including the BBC. They fill in the gaps in stories themselves.

And here's the issue again, as ever... You're taking a single point on a graph and making a judgement, the daily mail does this EVERY DAY and is ruining this country with it's vindictive poverty porn and violent rhetoric.

The BBC is a million leagues above this.
 
Are you drunk?

Seriously that seems a pretty mild comment to what I've seen on the DM and other sites particularly yt. We've been using the net for 20 years and this one comment has you suprised. You need to surf the net more.

I've seen stronger comments than that on here, 'bring back the chair', 'hangum high', 'off with their heads'.

Ad someone said it's about competition between media outlets. The DM will know their demographic and write their stories and pics to generate the required response, keep the readers coming back. They also play God in that they try and influence politics.
 
I've read the DM for more years than I can remember.

I agree that it unnecessarily stokes up anger and revenge in when it covers stories. It does this particularly when it comes to ex offenders. It'll start showing where they are, what they did, despite there being no new information or story about that person. It's purely being done to make people angry at the person.

But of course its also very hypocritical too. If anyone takes action and attacks that person the DM will be the first to condemn them.

It's online presense should be fired off. I consider the DM online to be low-grade journalism to the point if it was any other company making the site the DM would have been the first to condemn it. It copies stories from other newspapers, uk based or foreign, and prints it off like they have written it only at the bottom of the page they will write the other papers name. I'm surprised they havent fallen foul to the new EU link rules.

I know all newspapers have their bias. But the DM is the only one that continues with low grade trash, while at the same time condemning low grade trash.

I think the DM is only maintaining its position because there are very few right leaning publications around. But I don't think its a good representation of right-wing views. It doesn't seek to educate but more pushes low IQ conversations.

As for why I read the DM. It's the family newspaper and I've read it for so long. The newspaper isn't as bad as the online website. But the alternative to the DM is the daily express or the sun, both of which aren't much better.

LOL, very good! But the Daily Mail is now NOTHING LIKE as right leaning as it was under Paul Dacre. To the extent we no longer have it delivered. Their Brexit stance, by way of example, has changed markedly under the new editors, it's not the paper it was, nor is it catering to those who would have always bought it a year or so ago. Anyway, my views are far more right wing than even the Daily Express' so buying mainstream newspapers for delivery is not something I do any more. Like many I suspect, I scan the front pages by way of the Internet or if I can bear the usually left leaning reviewers long enough on the BBC's "The Papers", via that. The real nitty gritty of assimilating, and then commenting on recent world events naturally occurs down the pub ;)
 
The Daily Mail supported Adolf Hitler right up until the declaration of war in 1939. While his followers were persecuting everyone not like them. It’s hardly improved since then.

Just LOL if you've cancelled your subscription because the Daily Mail isn't right wing enough for you. Welp.
