I thought the "slack jawed yokels" read the daily mail.

the mail is read by the delusional, gullible and paranoid and harks back to some idealised vision of britain which never existed

the express is similar, but slightly less nasty

the mirror is read by well meaning idiots

the star isnt a newspaper

the guardian - carrot munching tree huggers

the telegraph - retired colonels, tory peers, old money

the times is for people who like to read a good paper but don't know why

the independant - no one


i think that covers all the bases - any questions? 

...can you direct me to a reliable news source then bj?[/quote]

[rustling newspaper in disgust]

Hurumph Hurumph, I'll have you know  I read a cross section of newpapers to get a good and balanced picture of the propaganda views coming out in print these days.  Even the more common ones that poor people read like Viz.  However that Guardian drivel is only good for the grass-munching, yoghurt-knitting tree-huggers.  Utter pithle and tripe it is!

Your so wrong Guffer,if there was no Gaurdian where would the Government and all those Labour councils advertise all those hundreds of thousands of absolutely vital public sector jobs.

Nothing like a bit of non discriminatory stereotyping eh

This thread smacks of a " if you dont read what i like then theres something wrong with you"

Not a good impression from a forum and i`ll bet a fair few silent folk that have read this will find the original post both patronising and condescending

Got to say its the first thread that i have looked at since coming online to OOF today and it wouldnt be one that would encourage me to read more or join if i was new.

In fact it would probably lead to me stereotyping everyone on here if i didnt know there was some fantastic members.

This had to arise i guess. Jeremy Drone (Vine) jumped on it for his show today (saw that coming a mile off, dull tinker).
     At the end of the day they all promise the world to get the vote then balls it up when they get voted in. There is no real difference between the tabloid & broadsheet press other than the broadsheets drag any issue out into pages instead of a paragraph.
     Press should'nt influence voters & this topic does'nt merit discussion...only in my opinion of course!

There is a very big difference between them Amigo!

The tabloids go for simple single sentence paragraphs with limited referencing and fact, with often sensationalistic tones to excite their readership.

The broadsheets use multi-sentence paragraphs containing much referencing and fact in a statement like style to educate and inform their readership.
