Re: Alright - let\'s have the truth...

As is often the case with polls... none of the above. I dont read the Guardian, but wouldnt poke my eyes out before reading it, I know what it is, and I can read.

Mail and Express all the way for me!!
 
Re: Alright - let\'s have the truth...

Since moving to the Lake District we only buy the Westmoreland Gazette and for proper news we watch TV news and Newsnight.
All the comics, you can keep them. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
 
Re: Alright - let\'s have the truth...

Several times a week - for the sport and the obituaries, although I skip the professors of sociology. They have some columnists who tickle my fancy.
 
Re: Alright - let\'s have the truth...

Seems to be a bit looked down on round these parts. Its a serious newspaper and I buy it occasionally.. Not sure about people who will only read one paper and eschew (got that word from the Guardian) others. Surely an eclectic (Times) mix of journalistic experience is the way forward? (Er apart from the 'comics')
 
Re: Alright - let\'s have the truth...

I will read any of the -now smaller-broadsheets occasionally and rely on t'internet for daily stuff but regularly prefer Saturday's Grauniad(with new added spellchecker)over most because its quite entertaining and,er,it takes me a week to ingest it..
 
Re: Alright - let\'s have the truth...

Its the best online paper!

Im puting a poll together to find out what the best paper is to read i just havent found the alternatives since someone said there is the "dail mail" have you ever heard of it?

The Guardians quick to load gives more than just a few lines such as the Times,sun or sadly IHT which i used to read
 
Re: Alright - let\'s have the truth...

Sometimes, as a Guardian reader, I have felt a little bit isolated on this forum, what with all the somewhat hysterical, hang 'em, flog 'em, send 'em back comments. It's good to know that there are like-minded people on here. Should we ask for a new forum to be created where we can be a bit undecided about some things, feel strongly that there's more than one point of view, and maybe try to understand that people sometimes do things because of difficult circumstances?

We can also understand each others' emotions, like if I find the bustards that stole my outboard I will kick the living sh*t out of them even if they do come from broken homes, got not GCSE's and live in a friggin shed.

Re: Alright - let\'s have the truth...

Yes and proud of it, I'm afraid - but that's just my Liberal Guilt coming out.

Far and away the best online product available, and not constantly trying to sell you Rupert Murdoch's satellite TV Stations (Times/Sun), Richard Desmond's Porn Mags (Express/Star), New Labour (Mirror Group) Reactionary mouth-foaming (Torygraph) or Middle Class paranoia (Mail), masquerading as news.

Also the only daily paper that brings you the wonderful Steve Bell.

Particularly sound on the subject of beards in today's edition.

Re: Very clever...

I havn't got a regular newspaper for years. I want news, not opinions.

If there is something I want to know about I'll probably buy the Torygraph and the Grauniad in the theory that the truth probably lies somewhere between the two and between them thay may give a balanced opinion.

A journalist aquaintance of mine says that a newspapers first priority is to make money and you do that by reinforcing readers prejudices and opinions, not by challenging them.

There again, he could be reinforcing my prejudices and opinions.
