........LMAO.....it's Britains biggest daily newspaper so it's become fashionable to dislike it but believe me it deserves it's HUGE circulation and it's numerous awards for good journalism. Do yourself a favour Ada and read it for 1 whole week and compare it to the blinkered broadsheets......
Well, no, The Sun is Britian's biggest newspaper, which is even more humiliating to the UK.
The Mail (and The Sun) has a huge circulation because people are morons and are influenced by their right-wing agenda. Good journalism? Really? All I see is intense hatred for women, all ethnic minorities, gay people, the disabled, poor people, basically anyone who isn't a pearl-clutching, middle class, white Tory.
It consistently ignores the problems with he have in this country which are perpetrated by the rich and instead invent headlines which intend to futher compound hatred in society; the endless statistics '234,00 billion Romanians coming to the UK to steal YOUR JOBS!!!' etc, etc. They never cite their sources because they don't have any and their readers don't care as it just suits their fascist views to believe it anyway.
I realise that most papers have their agenda and the broadsheets are no excpetion to that but the Mail is one of the most toxic.The fact that I'm particularly focusing on this one doesn't mean that I believe it to be the only bad newspaper, but in this instance it was the one that chose to print intrusive and unauthorised 'exclusive' pictures of a person living their private life in order to continue to expolit their grief and tragedy for clickbait and sensationalism (and don't get me started on some of the sickening things they said about him last year).
They openly championed the nazis in the 30s and their attitudes have changed very little (if at all) since. People don't dislike it because it's fashionable to do so, they dislike it because it's toxic and vile.
