What Newspaper do you buy?

DrumSteve · 13-08-2009 1:29pm #1

EDIT: I appear to have left some newspapers out of the poll... please dont cry about it. It wasnt intentional i made the poll in a minute. If I hurt your feelings im sorry.

well?

considering everyone here is a web user how relevant are newspapers to us? I mean I would rarely buy a newspaper mainlt due to the amount of ****e in them but the mirror is not half bad for sport.

Cookie_Monster · 13-08-2009 1:31pm

I steal the tabloid Indo from the canteen mostly

AnonoBoy · 13-08-2009 1:33pm

I buy the Herald AM and the Metro every morning off a lovely guy down by Busaras. Only costs me a euro for both of them!

cherryghost · 13-08-2009 1:34pm

who needs the paper when I got rte.ie and bbc.co.uk

Sir Molle · 13-08-2009 1:35pm

You have "The Weekly Sport" but not "The Independent". Half of those so called papers, I wouldn't even wipe my arse with. Worst poll I've ever seen.

latenia · 13-08-2009 1:36pm

The Guardian and The Financial Times

DamoDLK · 13-08-2009 1:39pm

Dont care what anyone says about the web... the crossword is not the same. viva la printed editions!

hblock21 · 13-08-2009 1:39pm

The Independent??????

Turd Ferguson · 13-08-2009 1:41pm

AH is my newspaper

bansheee · 13-08-2009 1:41pm

There is nothing as good on a Saturday morning as sitting down with a crisp copy of the Irish Times and a cup of coffee. Bliss.

This post tells me all I need to know about you as a person in real life. I guess I'll just put you on my ignore list or something.

The Sunday Independent and The Independent are two completely different papers

so you STFU

p.s. you dont have The Star either...

phasers · 13-08-2009 1:44pm

I get my news from AH, so I chose the daily Mail in your poll because it's basically the same thing

ScumLord · 13-08-2009 1:45pm

Don't.

Anything in them that's remotely interesting will be on here with expert opinion and humour.

goldenbrown · 13-08-2009 1:46pm

i read them on the net

--Kaiser-- · 13-08-2009 1:46pm

Irish Independent on a weekday (it's ****e though)

The Sunday Times of a Sunday

The star doesnt qualify as a newspaper. (i |know about the dubiousness of having the sun and the mirror in there too)

. No i wont STFU.

Mr.Obvious · 13-08-2009 1:48pm

The fortean times.

petes · 13-08-2009 1:48pm

None, I go to the pub every evening and read the free ones that are bought for the punters. All the while drinking my free tap water.

BeatNikDub · 13-08-2009 2:04pm

You don't have the Sunday Times either

I would vote that

JONJO THE MISER · 13-08-2009 2:25pm

Oh sweet Jesus 50% of people buy the Irish Times, i cant think of a more insane left wing rag than that, never talks about the real concerns of people and they favour mass Immigration and wont hear of any views that go against this belief.

parker kent · 13-08-2009 2:39pm

I get The Guardian and Observer. I use Irish Times website to catch up on Irish news, mainly the sport. Irish newspapers just seem a bit crap these last few years.

mobius42 · 13-08-2009 2:47pm

Where's the "None. I read their websites for free." option?

I read the Irish Times, Guardian & NYT websites every day, just to check and see if the world has caught fire or anything.

Ya-Boy-Ya · 13-08-2009 3:00pm

Why isnt the star there ?

Quint · 13-08-2009 3:08pm

Leaving out the most popular daly in the country was a bit of a blunder.

I don't buy anything I can get for free.

admiralofthefleet · 13-08-2009 3:18pm

the sun, for templegate in the racing.

Dan Chipowski · 13-08-2009 3:19pm

The Racing Post on saturday.

The Indo on saturday/sunday.

Daily Mail during the week.

Oh The Humanity · 13-08-2009 3:27pm

During the week The Star, The Sun and Mirror.

At weekends Sunday Times although I can't stand their obsession with Iraq and the poor sad women in Burqua's story or much of their content really.....India Knight banging on about girls being under too much pressure and fat vs curvy predicatable trite old crap bores me to tears.
Matt Cooper in the main section is nearly always good I suppose.

There isn't much alternative though, the Observer is obsessed with green carbon footprints which I couldn't give a fcuk about. Their monthly music mag is ok-ish. All the food p0rn, well I dont want to look at pictures of food or learn to make it, I just want to eat it quickly.

The Sindo is just tripe. I dont want to see that man with a blonde wig and the chin of desperate Dan thats married to Gerald Kean over me Sunday morning brekky. I dont care about someone showing off their 'light and airy' refurb'ed artisans cottage and drivelling on about their work life balance.

There is so much repitition in newspapers, lazy journalism, its really just tiresome reading them and yet I do.

In fact I hate all the worthy, middle class b0llox in the Broadsheets but I only skim the tabloids for pictures, headlines and the problem page.

Metro and Herald AM are quite good.

Aw, Im just bored with it all to be honest.

Joey the lips · 13-08-2009 3:38pm

The Irish examiner and the Sunday business post. The only 2 papers worth reading. afik

Woden · 13-08-2009 3:41pm

International Herald Tribune

rmchmufc · 13-08-2009 4:45pm

during the week i get the sun, on a saturday i'd get the independent and on sonday i get the news of the world

3hn2givr7mx1sc · 13-08-2009 5:13pm

The Star FTW.

stovelid · 13-08-2009 5:50pm

Irish Times
Sunday Times
Irish Star (for League of Ireland coverage, honest)
Observer sometimes.

wudangclan · 13-08-2009 5:51pm

the irish times
the economist

KnifeWRENCH · 13-08-2009 6:00pm

I hardly ever buy daily papers but when I do I usually go for The Independent, although if I want a trashy tablodi I'll pick up The Sun or something.

Family usually gets The Mail on Sunday but mainly for the good TV guide that comes with it.

nlgbbbblth · 13-08-2009 7:55pm

maybe it would have been better if you had two separate polls - one for daily newspapers, the other for Sunday newspapers. Mixing the two in the poll is illogical.

I buy The Guardian most days and read The Irish Times at work. Buy it on a Saturday.

Stopped buying Sunday papers aside from the occasional Observer.

Tabloids are for pr*cks.
It's probably judgmental but when I see someone buying one (or reading one in preference to a broadsheet) a switch goes off in my brain and I know that we will never really connect or have much in common.

Biggins · 13-08-2009 8:16pm

Never ever pay for the comics, namely the Sun, Sport, News of the World and the The Mirror.
Pure brainless drivel.

The Irish Times, the Guardian or the Observer when I want accurate, detailed articles and no non-important celeb rubbish.

Damn right it's judgmental you judgmental fool. How dare you call Pighead a prick. How absolute dare you! Just because he reads a paper with big writing and lots of pictures you think you have the right to call him a prick? Well two can play at that game sonny boy. Pighead is judging your username and raises severe questions as to your ability to spell. He's judging you on your sig and wonders if you're an adult with a childs mind who likes to watch kids tv programmes on Saturday mornings wearing nothing but a nappy.

Pighead hopes and prays that in ten years time you come home early exhausted from a days work, go up to your bedroom and find your wife, the woman you loved, the woman you cherished, in bed reading The Star newspaper. You're going to get old all alone ngggelitisthhsnobbggfrhj.

Ruu_Old · 13-08-2009 8:18pm

Flick through the Wall Street Journal at work. Don't buy newspapers.

pikachucheeks · 13-08-2009 8:22pm

The Irish Times, Sunday Times, Tribune and The Sunday Indo.

I read every paper, every day in work though.
