Growing up with the internet ive only ever used newspapers for killing flies or when painting a room so im unfamiliar with the stereotypes of the different newspapers readers. Enlighten me please :)
 
Chavs with enough money to step up from The Sun. Old people who want to hold on to their anger also read it.
 
Knobs with no real connection to reality. Or sometimes, scarily, ordinary normal outgoing type people who you would never second guess as buying that sort of racially charged socially inept dross on a daily basis.
 
Guardian readers like to wear sandals, have a soft spot for muslin and call their ******* children "moonbeam".
 
In fact further to what I said above, what I don't get about the unassuming kind of reader is just how that sort of hyperbolic tosh can appeal to people who otherwise seem so rounded and normal.

Lizard people, I swear it.
 
OP clearly knows what the common perception of DM readers is, otherwise why ask, and why not for every other newspaper. Purely trying to start a troll thread.
 
Middle class 50+ who's life revolves around Pensions, House prices, Royal Family, Conservative, MPGzzzz, Tax, Income and Tim Henman.

I was about to say the older generation... DM normally have deals on gardening stuff and other aged hobbies, I'm sure my gran read it to my vocal disdain. Didn't bother her much though, and again she's a very well rounded person. I hope it's more the offer of free bulbs than bash a muslim that attracted her to this dire publication. It's the obviously false hype with everything, it makes me scratch inside.
 
They'd be the sort of people, that if you were to build a Concentration Camp next door to them, they'd be more outraged at the possible affect on the valuation of their properties than anything else.

Did your Gran ever voice her vocal disdain to your choice of newspaper?

She never asked, at that time I picked up most papers from the Sun up to the Scotsman Herald and occasionally Times. The bulk of the Scottish publications and only other stuff, like the DM and so on if there was anything that was either obvious, front page, or brought to my attention.

I don't buy any newspapers anymore. I don't do the whole daily news analysis anymore.

Co-incidently I don't think it was anything of the soured side to the DM she liked, it was more the Royal gossip gardening and so on. Being politically charged, I had to jibe her for reading the crap anyway. All in good humour, but I like talking politics with my gran from time to time. It's interesting to hear her PoV.
