why the daily mail's going down the drain

[Dogsauce]

the Mail isn’t Dacre anymore, it’s softened a little. Plus not wholly onboard with the Johnson project perhaps because he’s a drunken womaniser or something like that. It’s if he loses the swivel-eyed drooling loyalty of The Express then we know he’s finished.

From glancing the front pages this morning, the Mail was notable for breaking ranks. The Sun, the Times, the Express and obviously the Borisgraph were still fanzines.

I was just coming here to talk about the Eriksen story. As we all know the Mail likes nothing more than demonising the BBC as much as possible at any opportunity. Their website is full of articles atm reporting on celebs, pundits and public alike complaining about the Beeb not cutting off the live footage of the incident earlier. That’s a perfectly valid complaint of course, as it was ver upsetting.

But that still hasn’t stopped them from publishing several upsetting images of the incident in their main article reporting the story. They might have resisted the temptation to show images of his face when it looked like he was dead, or the CPR, but still happy to post plenty of others, such as Eriksen’s wife looking extremely distressed, in a flood of tears and being consoled by Dane players. Something that several Urbanites said they found very upsetting in the TV footage.

Scum.

Anyone want to play DM/MoS bingo?

 

[Serge Forward]

How many years have they been running the "they want to ban xmas" story? 15? 20 years? More? Isn't about time they brought back "Baa baa green sheep" for a bit of variety?

 

[Raheem]

I've never heard even a dodgy anecdote where an actual person has been offended by the word Christmas.

 

[MickiQ]

Let's face it most DM stories are just basically grumbling about people they don't like doing stuff they don't approve off and are thus essentially timeless.
They can just run the same story over and over again without losing the key points.

 

[Serge Forward]

Which is what they do. Grumbling over something they imagine someone somewhere might, however unlikely, have said. Does all the dog whistles. Perfick.

Classic example of whoever’s rule it is that states ‘when a newspaper headline is framed as a question, the answer is always ‘no’’.

I hate the Mail as much as the next guy, but spelling errors are not near the top of the list of problematic issues with it tbf. And given that spelling and grammar mistakes are far from uncommon across the printed media, I would venture that Pickman's model was pointing out something else. Could be wrong though, and I can’t see anything else wrong.

Tbh it is the spelling. It's not in the article text, it's in something the mail has long prided itself on, its graphics. As you say typos are common in text, so common despite the existence of spell checkers that it'd have to have some comic effect before I'd post one up now
