Another almighty fail from the paper of ridicule.

Honestly, who reads that paper other than the BNP and it's followers?

Russell Howard got it exactly right when he said "The Daily Mail, racist in public so you don't have to be"

Pretty much every single one of their "journalists" (I use that extremely loosely) are hacks that should not be allowed near a keyboard, or allowed out in public for that matter

I feel sorry for the woman involved here thats complete scum what that journalist did and is against the Code of Practice set out by the Ombudsman. I was involved in case like this about 5months ago and a full apology was given but it will still never remove the labels t hat will now be attached to her by her colleagues.

The Daily Mail? I would never have thought it! At least its not as bad as The Express. Everytime I see the front pages of these papers I have to wonder if half the UK population hides under its bed in the morning in fear having read them

Yup.

Any one who pays money for the dailymail is actively supporting media terrorists.

Just to clear something up, it was the Irish Mail on Sunday that ran with this, not The Daily Mail. They're two different newspapers so if you're going to moan, moan in the right direction

It's still a pathetic piece of journalism though.

She published it in an online blog so she herself chose to make it public. I doubt they misquoted her.

You could argue (& she might) that they took it out of context but I would guess the quotes were literally correct so I would be surprised if she has grounds to sue them.

They took what was said completely out of context and mispreresented her position. Considering it was done without her approval she has grounds for defemation of character and damaging her professional repuation.

Grounds at least for a retraction.

How about turning the M upside down and calling it the Daily Wail? They do quite a lot of wailing on their front page.

The Daily Mail's most popular story would be something along the lines of

Immigration leads to higher crime rate and lower house prices

Uncyclopedia have a good article on this obnoxious rag.

Mind you lately the Express is even worse. Both of them make the Sun look like balanced reasonable, well informed journalism of the highest quality :eek:

That's what passes for creative journalism in a national newspaper? Life working in an air traffic control tower? Let's hope it's serialised.

well...what do you expect from the paper that used Stephen Gaitleys death for an attack on the Gay community?

There is very little similarity between the two.

Actually the paper in question didn't publish that article.


[edit]Technically, a lot of people in this thread are posting off topic, as they aren't writing about the article nor even the paper it was published in.

It's so easy to tell who actually reads newspapers and who just mouths off what they've been conditioned to think.

everything in that newspaper is proven fact!*

have they figured out what really really really happened to diana yet though?

Sheeps

The Daily Mail went after a friend of mine who just so happens to be the son of the woman who was accused of stealing from Adam Clayton. Her children have literally nothing to do with the case against her, and the Daily Mail went to town with a huge 2 page slander piece about them, even going as far as hacking their facebook and printing the daughters picture on the front page.

The Daily Mail is a serious piece of shit.

Thanks for the link! While I have little sympathy for air traffic controllers in general, the blog sounds like a typical account of a female's experiences in a male dominated career.

I'm no shrinking violet but I really do think that you need to be careful about what you post online. I'm glad to know that what I write here on boards has little chance of finding its way back to my door!

I think some people are rather naive about airing their views in public. You should expect to be misrepresented, not surprised when it happens. I really do think public blogs are mainly self-absorbed twaddle. There are some notable exceptions of course but most aren't worth wasting time on.

I was referring more to the way people aren't even moaning at the correct paper. I'm not trying to defend the Daily Mail, it's toss, but it doesn't have anything to do with this blogger. The Irish Mail on Sunday does.

I've seen it all over the internet, to me it's hilarious. It's like getting angry at the Star because the Sunday World published something controversial. Yes they're owned by the same company, but they are run by two totally different editorial teams on two different agendas.

I'm preaching to the wind here I know, nobody likes to listen to facts if it means they can't post their hilarious opinions anymore.

I was talking to the Managing Editor of the Irish editions a couple of weeks ago, and he said the hatred toward the english edition didn't really affect the irish ones. He's wrong! People can't tell them apart!

There isn't at all. They wouldn't want to interview any survivors of WW2 the next days headline would be "Germans move on Paris! Jews being killed as you read this!"

There are differences in some editorial policy (e.g. vaccines) but to be honest, they are both ultra-conservative, semi-racist rags.

True, people can't tell them apart but as I say, only some editorial policies are different

The (UK) Daily Mail was responsible for pushing the falsehoods and lies that said the MMR vaccine is linked to autism, similarly they attributed the deaths of a few pre-teen girls to the cervical cancer vaccine and campaigned for it's withdrawal.

The Irish Daily Mail is pro vaccine and was screaming for HArney to give us our 'life-saving' vaccine.

However when it comes to 'dirty dark-skinned and Eastern European foreigners' (paraphrasing) both rags seem to think that they are ALL benefits cheats, ALL criminals and mass-murderers...the overall agenda of both papers is the same, a few tweaks to editorial policy doesn't change that.

What a crock

If the British and Irish editions or the Daily Mail are two totally different publications then why do they have the same name ?

Most national newspapers have several editions based on the time of day/night they get printed and/or the region of the country they are to be distributed in. The content of these editions can vary slightly (especially if theres a big overnight breaking story) by your logic the 11pm City edition of the Irish Times and the 2am "Country" edition of the Irish times are two totally different newspapers

bonerm

Some of the Daily Mail articles do seem to be sensenationalism just for the sake of sensenationalism! I mean who in their right mind could have a problem with this show? Angry food critic: Giles Coren, that's who!

Never mind It's already my favourite tv programme ever.

I think what OctavarIan is saying is that this was from the Mail on Sunday which is under seperate staff and editors than the Daily Mail, much in the same way that The Daily Express and The Sunday Express are.

Not that there's much difference even with the different staff. All four still manage to be rightwing, xenophobic rags.
