why the daily mail's going down the drain

[gosub]

Its OK kids, the DM Online has signed Katy Hopkins as a columnist. This thread is now dead. The DM is no longer going down the pan.

Phew, I was getting worried, they did a pro refugee front page recently... Normal service will be resumed

'Chocolate Mosque' FFS. Infantile drivel.

 

[stavros]

Is that a columnist's waste of tree or an editorial? It's not quite a full house - nothing anti-Europe or sexist - but kudos for ticking all of BBC-bashing, double anti-Islam, homophobia and a somewhat-imagined PC theme.

Also, is it DM or MoS? It's well known that Dacre and Greig are trying to out-cunt one another.

WTF. Ian seems posher than Flora, not that that is the only thing in that which makes no sense.

 

[Favelado]

Were the nuns mean to you Katy? That must have hurt. Let it all out. All that anger. There. That's better.

Classic Daily Mail front page today, release of Shaker Aamer reported with the headline
A GREAT DAY FOR JUSTICE

...er, apart from the 14 years without trial bit

 

[stavros]

I think it's warranted self-congratulations for all those decades of campaigning and lobbying for non-white non-Christian people on the part of the DM. I think Paul Dacre once even went as far as to meet a Muslim and not call him a cunt.

Sadly the Muslim did not reciprocate the favour

'Racist' Daily Mail Tom Jones Cartoon Takes Everyone Back To The 1950s

 

[stavros]

I hope this thread can be extended to the Mail on Sunday, even allowing for their well known mutual hatred, as today its front pages brings us the earth-shattering news that "Hewitt caught selling Diana and William letters". I can only presume Geordie Greig has either mistakenly thought he's editing the Express or that we're still in 1995.

its becoming a clothes catalogue ......with stories added for clickbait and sales potential

"Click here to look like Mary Berry"

To be fair, this doesn't differentiate it much from its non-subscriptive rivals. Private Eye devotes acres to the downward spiral of the Telegraph's electronic and print content every fortnight.

I had the slightly queer* sensation today as I found myself sort of agreeing with the DM's front page regarding local authority pay to those at the top. I work for an LA and have worked for a number of others, and so I know the pay constraints haven't applied to all levels of the hierarchy. I console myself in the knowledge that it's part of the DM and its peers' attempts to belittle the public sector in general.

*strange or odd from a conventional viewpoint; unusually different; singular:

 

[stavros]

What exactly has the DM website got that multiple other celebrity tittle-tattle sites don't have? What specifically is it that makes its particular flavour of complete bollocks so popular? I spotted a respected colleague looking at it today and I'm pretty sure she doesn't subscribe to their brand of politics - although she is a member of a hard-working family®. How have they become the de facto British nay global site for this particular genre?

Don't know why people get so hot and bothered about the Mail. The comments section greatly adds to the gaiety of the day.

'Racist' Daily Mail Tom Jones Cartoon Takes Everyone Back To The 1950s

Here's the new one - it's back to the 30s now:

 

[DotCommunist]

wow, rats in the cartoon as well. Not even subtle

 

[Pickman's model]

women screaming is funny.

 

[bi0boy]

These are all "living up to it's reputation" things. A Daily Mail down the drain thread should feature surprising examples of quality journalism.

now that would be a surprise.

 

[bi0boy]

now that would be a surprise.

Here's one. An article on the reclassification of myxozoans, that they ought not to be regarded as protists but rather as cnidarians:

Parasite that cause fish to lose their mind has been re-categorized

I've seen worse science articles on the BBC, although that is also going down the pan of course.

 

[stavros]

Here's the new one - it's back to the 30s now:

At least some of them are wearing black shirts.

I'm glad we're all fans of the most respected paper in the UK. Imagine how well informed we'd be if every paper was as insightful.

 

[stavros]

This is brilliant; the top banner on today's front page reads "Is this Britain's most preposterous woman? Jan Moir".

 

[hipipol]

surely by supporting Mosely in the 30s they wuz already utter shite

 

[stavros]

"Britain's students: the new fascists?" asks yesterday's top banner. The Mail were clearly impressed by this year's interns.

 

[stavros]

Yesterday they gave away a free guide to "bagging the best Black Friday bargains", yet today's headline bemoans the internet's effects on high street shopping.

I hope everyone got their free 2016 Royal family calendar today.

 

[gosub]

Too late to remove from the paper edition, but I probably wouldn't have left this up online today :Angie Bowie claims ex-husband David forced her into an open marriage


Mrs Moir and Dacre, demonstrating their unique take on the grief process AGAIN -not something his kids will want to come across.
Oh and Desmond,tell her (off camera) and get her out of that human zoo ASAP

Richard Desmond owns the Daily Express, which is like the Mail but with added Diana, and he no longer owns Channel 5. I think he was the one who had the smart idea to resurrect Big Brother's corpse and managed to dumb it down.

I thought he owned it. ( Sold it to Viacom for £450mil last May)
