What newspaper do you read?

[Tom Bombadil]

Mate, it's fairly obvious from your posts what you 'rub off'.

Do you have a sense of humour?

 

[Schrödinger's Toad]

facist

And proud of it.

Of course I do, I just look at your posts for a start. Still, I now know why you didn't listen to your European co workers, after all, we know what makes you deaf.

Has to be the Indy- Small, compact, in depth, good sports coverage and the wit of mr Miles Kington. equally would buy the times but dont wish to fund Mr Murdochs burgeoning bank account.

You can tell what a bunch of intellects we are on NSC.

I'm the first to vote for the Mirror, and it's the second biggest selling paper in Britain. I still refuse to buy the Sun because of Hillsborough.

Saying that I can't stand anything vaguely right wing, or broadsheet, though I have been known to dabble in Guardian readership.

The mail is the worst paper on the planet.


I read the telegraph for the fantasy football on wednesday.

Otherwise, I read the Guardian,Independent online and if I buy one its usually the Times if I want to read properly or the Sun if im in a rush.

I enjoy most of the broadsheets and respect all their viewpoints on the news, whilst not necessarily agreeing with them. The Times and Guardian have the best footy sections in my opinion

We need a good sports paper in this country, like La Gazzetta Dello Sport in Italy.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Don't the Mail and the Sun both outsell the Mirror?

I have to confess that contary to Mr V I cannot stand the Mail either, it really is an abomination.

Trouble is that so many of the papers print lies and half truths it's hard to see any credibility in the press.

The Mail is the biggest load of bollocks out. And it takes itself far too seriously.At least the Sun provides entertainment on occasion

 

[Simster]

The Times or The Guardian for me. I used to like The Indy but felt that the quality of journalism slipped a few years back, and I haven't since returned.

 

[Biscuit]

The Guardian mostly for the Media suplement.

 

[Meade's Ball]

The Independent for the cryptic crossword. What a beauty!

 

[Bobby's Gull]

The Argus or The Sun or sometimes The Telegraph for the sport. Get the Observer Sports Monthly as well, which is normally quite good.

 

[Chesney Christ]

The Times, since it went "compact". Although I'm not sure about the assertion that its a Tory paper - I've found it fairly central, since I started buying it about a year ago. If anything, leaning to the left. The Mirror if I feel too tired to read The Times.

My essential purchase is always When Saturday Comes though. The best publication in the shops (or not, as the case is in many of them) by an absolute country MILE.

Don't agree. I think its a case of: we get the media we deserve. If more people bought the likes of The Times, The Guardian, The Independent and The Telegraph rather than the trash like The Sun it wouldn't be an issue.

 

[Braders]

The Sun and The Argus during the week
The News of the world and The Sports Argus on sunday

Ahem, please note that further up this thread I said I didn't read any newspapers but in fairness you have a very valid point. It astonishes me that people here buy The Sport and in the US the have trash like The National Enquirer and some of these raeders actually believe the crap they have in them.

 

[Cian]

Irish Times (not connected to the UK) or rarely the Irish Independent or the Evening Herald (these two papers own the Indo in the UK).

Oh, and the local rag. And I mean RAG - makes the Argus look like extremely coherent and integral journalism.

Fair point. Although I'm always hearing people slag off the media and then tell me they buy one of the red top rags. Gazza spends a huge percent of his autobiography complaining about the press and their treatment of him and then lists his favourite newspapers as The Star and The Sun. I doubt the stupid Geordie would appreciate the irony of it.

Point taken Ches and I agree with you totally.
