The mirror is a shite paper as well just because it is left wing and shite makes little difference to the argument.
People don't dislike the Mail because it is right wing. They dislike it because it spreads hate and bullshit.
A fine example of more terrible journalism, it would appear that the gutter press stretch across both sides of politics. I do admire your determination to make this a right v left issues though.
Oh and as for my readership, I usually read the Hearald Sun (Right Wing Murdoch publication) at work and The Age (Fairfax left wing) I also read from various sources on reddit and enjoy a look at The conversation every so often. Although I do flatter myself that I have a level of media literacy...
Fair play to you and I respect you standing up for your choice of newspaper.
Like I say it is a long time since I read the paper, although i di pick up a copy at the airport when I was over in January and it doesn't seem to have changed much. Most of it appeared to having a go at someone...
My views are left of center and I would suggest that it is foolish to think that either side of politics represent the working man. The Daily Mail is a rag full of hate, bias and down right lies. Unless it has changed an awful lot since my grandma used to read it all the time. It doesn't matter...
My question is: Does one take drugs because they listened to The Velvet Underground/Lou Reed or does one listen to The Velvet Underground/Lou Reed because they take drugs?
