The Mail

I have to confess I rarely buy a newspaper however I do tend to buy The Mail on a Saturday rather than every day mainly because it has the best TV guide for the week ahead with a good balance of both terestial channels and also satellite ones. On a Saturay the paper costs seventy pence and it is in a tabloid format. From the times I have bought this during the week or read it at my parents house where they get it delivered it is basically the same format however you do not get as many pages of adverts in the week and there is only a magazine inset at the weekend. This is a rather right wing middle class paper and its editorial andjournalistic style ...  Read the complete review

Three words to cause fear in the heart of anyone who has a brain in their heads ‘The Daily Mail’. As the mass media sinks further and further into a quagmire of tabloidism, trivial hysteria, misinformation and reductionism one paper can be seen as leading this charge into the abyss. That paper is the Daily Mail, bastion of Middle England, small-minded small isle xenophobia and bigotry. The thing that makes me shudder more than anything about the existence of the Daily Mail is that it believes it self to more than the tabloid piece of trash it is. Unlike ‘The Sun’, ‘The Mirror’ or ‘The Star’, the Daily Mail ...  Read the complete review

As I’m all sure you know (if you have read my previous op on the Daily Telegraph), until recently I read the Daily Telegraph. However I found a problem with the best selling quality broadsheet in the country, and that was, that it was a broadsheet, it was just to darn big for cornflakes. So on happy sunny day whilst picking up my paper, I decided to opt for another, this later caused problems as before I was such an enthusiast of the Telegraph that the shop owner thought that he had sold out, and apologised profusely. So as I cast my eye upon the selection of newspapers, a picture happened to catch my eye, however as current international news ...  Read the complete review

The Daily Mail is by far the most popular and widely read quality daily newspaper. It is well written and presented. It follows the standard format , major news at the front & sport at the back. Whilst the Sport isn't as good as in the Sun , it is difficult to be pursuaded to buy that Newspaper in front of the Mail when for everything else The Mail is head and shoulders in front. Each day carries a different central focus ; Mondays Self Magazine covering self improvement , self awareness , self discovery & self obsession. Very femail orientated. This week covered what type of Bikini Women should wear to lose inches ...  Read the complete review

If I had to put the Mail into a comfortable bracket, it'd be the one reserved for ninety year-old Tory peers and retired schoolteachers from Kent. The three sit quite nicely together, spouting their utter drivel at anyone who should care to listen. The frankly disgusting aspects of the Mail are numerous. I try, in my opinions, to be as objective as possible while still recounting my own experience, but I am afraid in this instance I could only live with myself if I am completely honest and criticise the paper for the tripe it is. Primarily, it's fixation with the past is ridiculous. It seems to be living in a world where wives stay at home to ...  Read the complete review
