My lad started a paper round today. Every paper the facist mail. One guardian and a sun.

Unbelievable and that’s why we’re screwed

Does he have to wear a black shirt while delivering the Daily Heil?

I am mentally at least. Have you read it? Do you think it represents a balanced newspaper?

I don’t

 

[shmmeee]

But they're on the side of the working man

They’re on the side of benefit claimants. Labour get more votes among people who work.

People still get papers delivered?

I don’t

No newspaper generally is balanced. It does frequently have contributors from Labour including the ghastly Blair whose wrote columns there. Would I prefer it to terrible offerings like the guardian and the observer who obsess with middle class hypocrites like Polly Toynbee and the utterly absurd Owen Jones? Yes I would

Maybe I’m a middle class hypocrite

In fact I know I am

 

[shmmeee]

Rather a middle class hypocrite than a racist and a borderline pedophile TBH. Some of the Mail stuff is downright creepy.

"borderline paedophile"........whats that about?

It’s the mail that do all that weird “hasn’t she grown” crap and who do massive spreads on anything sex related with this weird “look at this, I mean purely to be disgusted about it honest” stuff. Or have I got my tabloids mixed up?

Like this:

My, hasn't she grown! Dakota Fanning passes the awkward phase with flying colours

Child actress Dakota Fanning seems to have come through her awkward younger years just fine. The 14-year-old revealed she's on her way to being all grown up, at the premiere for her controversial new film Hounddog, and showed off a mature new look.

Fucking creepy.

Which newsagent? My Mum and Dad live in Styvechale and reckon they can't get anyone to deliver papers to them. I'd rather pay for delivery than have to get up early every Saturday morning to get my Dad a paper!

A lot of the Guardian is unreadable these days. No wonder their sales are dropping.

Compared to The Express? Yes. Compared to the real world? No. It’s a proper little Englander misplaced exceptionalism read.

OK, see what you are getting at, completely mis understood where you were going with it.

Thought this was in the spirit of the SBT OT politics chat:

 

[Deleted member 4439]

At least Galloway and his bunch of racist homophobes have reduced the lead to CON+9.

 

[Deleted member 5849]

Whilst it's not for me, in fairness I know people who read the Mail because it strikes a middle balance in content style between the comics and the broadsheet. Usually quite a lot of content as well. You could of course argue that they might be influenced by the politics, but that's not necessarily why people buy it.

You're probably right, although that's why I like it less tbh. It aspires to the gravitas of the Times or Telegraph, but ends up in the gutter like the Sun, but pretends otherwise. At least the Sun and Mirror do what they say on the tin.

The Mail tries to make people feel superior for reading it

I think you are confusing it with the Guardian

 

[Northants Sky Blue]

The Mail plays to every prejudice going. Hateful hypocritical nonsense

 

[COV]

I think you are confusing it with the Guardian

Yeah probably- as always it’s both sides at it tbh.

Guardian is a bit more under my radar, everyone knows about the Mail though. Not saying they’re the worst

 

[skybluetony176]

They’re both the same. Ones woke and the other is Nazi sympathiser and both readerships think they’re cleverer than everyone else.

That's cos the type of people that still have a paper delivered are old-fashioned , don't like change and stick to what they're familiar with. Y'know - Conservative-thinking people. So it's hardly surprising the traditional media like papers will have a far more right-leaning basis that reflects that. Younger and more open minded are more likely to access stuff online.

I was just pointing out how the different opinions access their information and how it would explain why the majority of papers his son delivers are right leaning.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

I knew his defensive plan was man-Marxing.

Also explain why Woakes doesn't feature as much as he should for England. Old Farts Brigade at the MCC don't want any of this Woak nonsense in the Long Gallery.
