Don't like the Guardian, Telegraph or any of the others really. Don't mind The Express every now and then

The Sun makes me laugh, but I regard it as more like a comic

I read something at the weekend to the effect that the MPs fee scandal has breathed a new lease of life into many local papers, each of which now has a juicy local farrago to really delve into.

Nothin on earth could persuade me to buy that rag, any more than a Liverpool fan could be persuaded to buy the Sun.

For a bit of objectivity, I prefer the Independent. For comic silliness, it's the Mirror.

The Daily Mail also has Sister Newspapers (local rags) all over the Country, especially the West Country (Plymouth Evening Herald, Western Morning News, Exeter Herald, to name a few), so their views go to a wide range of readers, I used to work for them and and they have a big influence over what is readinthis Country today

Yes indeed! I wish they would all do that. I was reading my colleague's Sun paper the other day, well reading is perhaps not what I was doing Looked at my hands and they were covered with newspaper print which I had subsequently transferred to my face

Northcliffe Newspapers, part of The Daily Mail group also own stacks of Newspapers throughout the country, Quite a few regionals are folding or mergering at the moment.

i know you read 'em

what ive never understood is their readers, policies and views
you know-like what sort of person reads whats newspaper

i read the daily mail and ive been laughed at because of it-however, i read it because littlejohns rants make me laugh,they do really good features about figures in history etc..they do excerpts from new books which i read and decide if the book is worth buying, they do excellent film reviews which i can understand! the weekend tv mag is great and i like doing the cryptic crossword-in a nutshell, the paper doesnt represent my views, i just like it for the features

so if someone could explain what the other papers 'stand for' i would be grateful :thumb

please bear in mind-im not thick-just not very well educated, never went to school etc..
but i can read and write, im good at quizzes, got a good business head on me-i just dont 'get' certain things
so laymans terms would be great

I remember when the Mail were constantly
digging at the Porn Baron that took over the Express, chipped away for months, then suddenly
the Express remind the mail of their postion
regarding Hitler, No more was heard from the Mail on that subject.
