Tell me about it!!

My post was a piss take of those pompous morons who use the word 'take' instead of 'buy' when discussing newspapers... I'm wasted on you people!

I read a copy of the Times once but the layout of the paper seriously annoys me, I wish they printed a smaller version like the Indo, it's more compact and way easier to read. AND you don't feel like you're wrestling with the paper!

I find that any major news story finds its way to AH anyway.

I wrestled with a paper once, but I was Black and Blue afterwards

I'd be an either or person. I run a mile from any of the tabloids like the sun/mail or mirror. There's only so many time stop can read "from a source close to....." without realising it's pure horse ****.

We're in the country and buy the times. I wouldn't dream of buying the Indo its basically a tabloid at this stage.

Dubliners have a heritage of their own, maybe I shouldn't say that as the moderators shut down my thread about dubliners not being of the Gaelic heritage, all the mods are dubs you see

Should we kick Dublin out of Ireland?

For my sins i bought the Sindo last sunday what a waste

Did you not use the coupon for the German supermarket ?

Indo isn't exactly a paper of record these days. Just too many inaccurate reports.

Indo used to be a much better paper.

IT is, and always has been, a 36 page liberal op ed. Just as bad, but for some reason the people who read it seem to think they are better than the rest

Lollipop95 · 25-12-2015 01:14AM

Just wondering, when people say the Times is a liberal paper, what do you mean by it? I only really skimmed through it once so I wouldn't know! My own parents buy the Indo and I do like it.

However, why so much hate towards the Sindo and not the Indo? Aren't they the same except the Sindo is a Sunday version of the Independent?

Its not even a paper, a newspaper is suppose to give you news,all the indo does is give you its employees opinions...

Same as every newspaper so! Propaganda filled hyperbole

Being out-of-the-country, I don't have the opportunity to buy a hard-copy version of either, but based on the illiterate rubbish churned out on the Independent's website, I'd rather spend my money on bog-roll. Apart from the hundreds of spelling, grammar and vocab mistakes, and stupid cut-and-paste-and-paste-again errors, they seem to cycle through just three stories - the "tragic", the "savage" and the "outrage" ... not to mention that they seem to be a champion of vertical videos, most of which they describe as having "gone viral" after they've had about a hundred views. :rolleyes:

I used to read the Evening Press; now it'd be the Times.

Of course it may just be that I was indoctrinated as a Dublin-reared child. :pac:
