Yep!

I skirt through the website most nights to see the days stories - some truly horrific murders reported last night. There is a lot of tosh down the right hand side though.

 

Pinch of salt like any newspaper if they're plugging something.

 

They're all pretty much of a muchness...dependent on which side you're coming from.....tend not bother with any of them!

I can only go there when I'm drunk and only to go and scream at the crap written. I'm not interested in some ppl who have made money through no impact of their own, so no, let's not embrace it. (I can't even be a*sed with the crossword and that says a lot.

I don't buy newspapers but occasionally look at DM online to see if there's any follow up to a story on the News that I'm interested in. When I've looked at the column on the right I can honestly say I've never heard of the majority - about 90% - of the "celebs" they're talking about so I don't click and read. I'm obviously out of touch these days with the celeb culture but tbh I don't feel I'm missing out on anything.

Doubt it very much....bin a while since I was the slightest bit interested!

I don't feel like I've suffered ! 

Infact...they wind me up most of the time!

So to be fair...reckon I actually do better now!  

I've posted this before, but it never fails to make me laugh:

I promise that the following are all generated headlines:

HAS THE LABOUR PARTY CHEATED HOMEOWNERS?

HAVE ASYLUM SEEKERS SCROUNGED OFF ENGLAND?

HAS THE INTERNET GIVEN HOMEOWNERS CANCER?

Mrs Jer thinks we are all bigots but we have a family tradition of zero tolerance. Last May we were in this very place and they only had a Mail left at the Bahnhof. Mum and I wouldn't touch it. We also have a habit of writing off the readers as some sort of intellectual untermensch. As a loyal reader of t'Grauniad I know that the feeling is mutual.

Thinking about it – I only visit such sites while BB is in progress.

 

Picked up a copy of The Independent on my way to work every day for quite a few years but rarely bother now and don’t exactly browse their on-line version with particular regularity. I’m never more than a click away from the BBC site these days for Breaking News etc…

 

I am guilty of following both Deborah Orr and Polly Toynbee on Twitter, though.

 

That's true! It's actually quite funny that Sun, Mail and Guardian readers have become stereotypes that everyone recognises

I don't read any papers, but for the local rag, and if I did it would be the Sunday Post 

Newcastle Journal stereotype!

The Chronicle's ok for the jobs   But there's not many in there at the mo 

I buy The Journal on a Saturday to look at the homemaker, plus it has a good quiz on a Saturday.  When I still lived in Durham I used to occasionally buy the Northern Echo to read the obits, but did you know the Northern Echo isn't even heard of in Newcastle  

I'm wanting to mention The Pink at this point in time Cinds   I don't think that is now prolly either 

I read online the BB stuff and all the tv/showbiz info.

Weddings ,who wore what ,who's going out with who .LOVE IT!!

Me too.

We get a free short version of the Chronicle delivered when whoever delivers them can be bothered.  But the other day a full version came through the door, husband was over the moon.  Then one of the neighbours stopped by to claim it as theirs.  She had asked me earlier in the day if I would take a parcel for her if she wasn't home, so she had put a note on the door 'deliver parcels to number ** please'.  She had forgotten to take the note off the door so the paper boy had also delivered her paper to our house 

Ooooh I kind of remember the Pink, it's a very vague memory, maybe from my paper delivering days.

Yep. Sports paper on a Saturday 

That's it Sprout, I did deliver it *shrugs hunched shoulder back up*

I read lots of different newspapers. My parents are both (retired) journalists so I grew up with a ton of different columnists and opinions. Sometimes I'd be reading something hot from the printing press when I was allowed to stay up to wait for my pa to get home after a scoop.

I know the Daily Mail deserves a lot of criticism but even they capture my feeling occasionally. Their dogged determination to get the killers of Stephen Lawrence to face justice is highly commendable. 

  I think there was also a Green if I'm not mistaken 

I read all that on the DM site too - it's my lunchtime guilty pleasure.  I also love reading the comments - at least one smug git in every article writes 'Who ARE these people?'   They obviously read about them as much as I do, you'd think they'd know.  

Usually the Krap Kardashians or Towie/Made in Chelsea/Geordie Shore and the US equivalents. I'm not even sure I feel guilty for reading the Mail online
