The Daily Mail is the second biggest-selling daily newspaper in the UK. Whereas the Morning Star for the middle class is the second least-selling daily newspaper in the UK. No wonder Guardian readers feel a bitter grievance towards the Daily Mail.
Guardian readers are going to feel even more bitterly aggrieved over the fact the paper they love to jizz over may fold, along with The Observer, as a direct result of The Guardian Media Group losing £24 million in the currency market, no doubt adding to the total of £90 million it announced it has lost in the past year. Back to reading "The Beano" for you, eh?  |
If I wanted right-wing papers (and it might surprise you to learn that that's precisely my preference), the Daily Mail would be the last I would read. The Guardian, meanwhile, is for yoghurt-weaving shits with fuck all to say, who don't mind a poorly-proofed and often rush-written pile of turd.
The Mail's popularity has nothing to do with my disdain towards it; the atom-thin insinuation, their incessant negativity and unrelentingly poisonous rhetoric has a lot to do with it. The copy-editors let people like Jan Moir get away with little short of murder, because they know full well that a well-reasoned right-wing paper is far less sellable than hysterical rubbish.
The Guardian will probably fold in the next year; I think the Observer's already going. And good riddance. Except there were some good cookery article in the Observer food monthly from time-to-time.
