Advantages: An ok puzzle section

Disadvantages: The readers

So the Daily Mail is meant to be one of the countrys most read newspapers? I cannot for the life of me think why, I read this paper everyday simply because its the only paper my parent buy, but I absolutley hate it. Occassionally, they have a few good stories, but to my mind it just seems that the paper is content on critisising and condemning Britain. Every other story just seems to be about "elf n safety", slating immigration, the youth of today, the BBC and Jonathan Ross. I dont necessarily think the editors of the paper really believe what they are writing, but they know that the people that read the paper love to hear about these kind of storys, so they can have their 5 minutes of snorting in the morning saying "I cant belive this bloody country!". Some of the storys the Mail prints are just plainly not true, theyve found some little snippet of information and they blow it completly out of proportion, storys such as the EU banning bendy banannas etc. I have genuinly read headlines in the mail such as "Facebook causes cancer" just the scaremongering attitude of the paper is one of its worst features. The Daily Mail often runs campaigns, the most recent being "Not in my front yard" where they seem to have developed a hate for wheely bins, and invite people to write in with their wheely bin storys of how terrible they are. This is not news! This is just people having a moan over something that should be encouraged (the increase of recycling) although the Daily Mail and its readers have to always see the downside and complain about it. The letters section of the paper is the worst part. Avid daily mail readers write in with their moans and thoughts, sometimes trying the be funny but mostly just being old moaning men and women. The one and only real upside to the daily mail is the "coffee break" section, which contains puzzles, comic strips, horoscopes, recipies, tv guide and corrospondents questions. Overall, I would avoid this paper however if your the type of person that sees the downside to even the best of things and enjoy having a moan a the country, then this is the paper for you!

Summary: I hate this paper
