The Daily Mail - 9/24/2013 4:21:56 PM

Status: offline 		Recently I have noticed a surge in the number of people using the Daily Mail as a source. Are there not enough stupid media sources in America any more?

The Daily Mail is a complete and utter bag of shite.

A typical headline might read...

"Diana hating illegal immigrant Muslim attacks lollipop lady and lowers house prices"

I urge all of you to completely ignore any post which has anything to do with the Daily Mail, and anyone who uses it as a source should suffer the scorn they deserve

Thing is Ken, nothing ever gets thru..........messages, hints, outright contempt even. They keep doing it.

Phydeaux, where are these incidences of posters using msnbc as a source?....say since november.???

Does it matter? I'm not going to do the research and neither are you? If you wish me to more broadly explain the point I will be happy to do so.

The New Times - lefty magazine. 99% drivel. Yet. Every so often it gets an article that is well researched, and backed up with multiple sources.

Attacking the messanger instead of discrediting the article is what passes for brilliance here too often.

You like huffington, new york times. I like the wall street journal and IBD.

Shouldn't matter. The article is the thing. And for the record, I went to school in England. I'm well aware of the proclivities of the varies rags.

Yeah, but no brain work required if you can just say "Oh, an article from the Daily Mail ... we won't have to actually do any thinking."

Kinda like the Enquirer here in the US ... that John Edwards story was just (what was that phrase?) ... "shyte". Until it wasn't.

The problem with some tabloids (Brit and American) is that it didn't actually happen.

Another problem is that our Brit friends have no idea which American media sources at least attempt to be accurate just like we Yanks are just as unaware of the Brit media accuracy.

The Daily Mail does seems to have a tabloid format, not that I spend much time exploring it, but I've usually found their actual news stories reported in other sources. I tend to post the alternative link in order to avoid the scorn of people with a penchant for stereotyping, but I have never associated that characteristic with a genuine interest in truth.

*Chortle*. You read The Mail, don't you PS? You've valiantly defended it before, I recall.

Come on, admit it. Weird perversions are accepted on this site. OK, this is an extreme one, but I'm sure that people will rise to the challenge. They know that you're otherwise balanced.

Fucking feminazi influence again. I hope Naughtynick has duly clocked this latest example of the hateful march of the feminist jackboot.

Just out of curiosity, Ken, what sources do you consider unbiased?

I have no familiarity with the daily mail so i cannot really compare. But here in the states we have tabloid which publish stuff like, "Britney is sleeping with Michael Jackson's illegitimate son." Then we have Fox and MSNBC -- both of which are pretty much pure propaganda. Fox is the republican mouthpiece. MSNBC is the democratic one.

None.

For media sources I read/watch on a regular basis:
Chicago Tribune
BBC
Al-Jazeera America (this is really surprisingly good)
New York Times
CNN

I just accept each source and writer has a bias and try to distill the reality from the reporting. The sources I avoid are ones like the Daily Mail, FNC and the Washington Times that have a documented history of simply making stuff up.
