The Star

I usually buy the Daily Star on a Saturday, along with the Mirror, mainly because it’s an easy read which isn’t too taxing on the brain. I have seen this paper described as nothing short of soft porn on Dooyoo. I can only review it by giving an a balanced opinion based on my experience of reading it, normally only on a Saturday, but I’ve certainly not found it any worse than the Sun in recent times and, for what it’s worth, would not describe yesterdays issue as soft porn. I think it’s fair to say that the Star is probably nearest to the Sun in terms of its style and content. You can usually rely on the Star to come up with ...  Read the complete review

The Daily Star is the perfect paper for someone like me who wants to know the news but doesn't want to read one article for three hours. The Star gives all of the important facts about a story but little else which is brilliant. It dosen't drag on for ages and waste space which can be used for pictures of scantily clad females. Page 3 is an obvious bonus and the new section 'Anna nuvver one' which shows a picture of Anna Kournikova every day is fantastic. Obviously some stories bend the truth but you should know not to believe everything you read, especially in tabloids like The Star. Possibly my favorite section of the paper is the Joke Bloke next ...  Read the complete review

Do people really class the Daily Star as a newspaper? Wander along the newsstand, and you'll often see the same big news story handled in a variety of different ways, until suddenly you see the Star and the big news is more like 'Woman with large breasts wears bikini'. I mean, obviously, people with a very low mental age need to be reassured on a daily basis that somewhere in the world, a woman with large breasts is wearing a bikini, otherwise building sites across the land would be entirely devoid of conversation. It's cheap, tatty, risibly thin, and so moronic it can't even hold together the most basic bigoted standpoint for long before lapsing back ...  Read the complete review

This 'news'paper is even worse than 'The Sun'...is that possible?! The Star completely lacks in content, the only things these dish rags are worth is for the sport pages, well they would be if they didn't slag someone off when they're not doing so well. Build 'em up, knock 'em down, it's so demoralising to read these things. I hate that kind of thing, one minute you're a Superstar God, next you're a worthless little slug, what is it about this country? Why are we so obsessed with famous people, that we have to know every boring little details of their lives. I don't care that maybe Britney Spears has had ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit that from the opinions that I have read so far the English version of the Star is vastly different from it's Irish conterpart. From what I have read the English Star tends to be similar to the Sun and that cannot be good.(See my opinion on the sun!) The Irish Star in the other hand tends to contains a lot of actual news which is unusual for a tabloid of this type ! The sports section is top class and it carries a lot of GAA stories which I find particularily enjoyable. There is even a pullout supplement after the big matches on the weekend. So I suspose that if you happen to visit Ireland get a copy of the Irish star and make your ...  Read the complete review
