    I've noticed a lot of abuse directed at the daily mail on boards.

    I know they write some rubbish but so do a lot of newspapers.

    What is it exactly about the Daily Mail that you hate?

    I know everything they write is completely fabricated, head-melting, stereotyping, racist, xenophobic rubbish.

    Their poor coverage of pick-up-artist news stories.

    Here's a question, why's it called the Daily Mail if you don't get it posted to you?

    It's a xenophobic, homophobic, ultra right wing hate rag that thinks all Irish people are a bunch of potato eating terrorists

    ..... pretty much

    Everybody hates the Daily Mail, and the only ones buying it are the Daily Mail staff, this being a condition of their employment.

    Sensationalist headlines that are taken out of context.

    Half literate egotistical journo's that make Brendan O'Connor's Sindo monkey babbling look intelligent and modest by comparison.

    Being incorrect in content, factually, legally, and grammatically.

    "Inventing news".

    That fat bird that does the ads for the Apprentice. I won't mention her name because if you say it three times in front of a mirror with your eyes closed she will come to your house and eat you.

    And because all Internet sites need villians.

    That about covers it.

    No, it's the "left out any useful information in their stories" thing that annoys people

    First tabloid in Britain, afaik. For that alone it deserves utter contempt.

    It's also a fear-mongering, manipulative, speculative and emotive piece of shit (which often comes with awful free CDs) that's stunting the mental development of anyone who reads it.

    .....and the only tits in the Daily Mail are the ones writing the yarns. The Sun's sh1t, but at least it's got two kinds of tits, or three if they do a story about another kind of bird with no clothes on.

    How do you confuse a Daily Mail reader?


    Tell them an illegal immigrant has killed a paedophile

    It's a 'New Conservative' publication.. nobody forces anyone to read the shite

    The question should be why are the articles linked to so often rather than why do people hate it

    Newspaper snobbery I guess.

    I think it's a great paper, as good as any Irish paper on the market.
    Yes, it does sensationalise at times, big deal?

    The online site is superb, ****ing loaded with news and everything else

    The health and science and tech sections are very very good

    There are a lot of people here who hate FaceBook too. I wonder which is worse, or do the two hate groups overlap a bit / much / 100% ....
