Which ones do you read? Understandably, there's alway's been a beef against the HDM ,the Daily mail, the Mirror, the Sun, the Star, the Telegraph, all of em really. Tell me, which paper should I be reading, which paper do you read and why? It's about time this was settled. So which paper and why?
Yeah. From my point, as someone who reads it often, I'm very pleased with that, but it is obvious that it's circulation has dwindled massively.
I used to read the star, poeple used to tell me i did it for tits. It wasn't, I liked their unbiased coverage of important news topics (unlike the sun which I can't stand) But then they started puting reality show nonsense on the first 13 pages, plus i discovered the internet (for news not tits) I look daily on the HDM website daily, plus the BBC news one when im bored on a night shift at work Can't remember last time I bought a paper
I pick up the Telegraph every day from my local fuel station, and have an online sub to L'Equipe for French Football as i watch Montpellier 4 to 5 times a season home or away
This thread is just because I've noticed over the last few years, whenever anyone pulls something from a newspaper, said paper gets slated. The Daily Mails racist, the Telegraph's full of **** or that old classic, the Daily Mirror seems to know more about what's going on at HCAFC than any other. No one ever seems to own up to reading any particular rag. Everyone's quick to slate them, but no one ever seems to suggest which paper I should read. Weird...
I recently created an account on the Guardian website because I've been reading it for a few years now online, but some of the writers for that paper are utter ******s. I'm talking about people like Owen Jones, Polly Toynbee and Seamus Milne. The only decent columnist who writes for the Guardian is Nick Cohen. Everyone else is a tit.
Bought the first copy produced in 1952 and then every edition until I left the UK in 1966. For about 10 years cut out and kept lists of the Top 10 singles charts in the UK plus Billboard in the US. Remember it's big rival was 'Melody Maker'.
I think I've bought a HDM twice this year, both times because there were articles about people I knew(one was actually for the missus), outside of that I can't actually remember when I last bought a paper. The last paper I bought regularly was The Guardian, but that was probably twenty years ago and I rarely read much of it, I just had a competition going with a mate, to see who could finish the G2 crossword first. I read the South China Morning Post when I'm away working, but only because you get it free and it's something to do while eating breakfast on your own, it's actually a very well written paper(you also get USA Today, which always seems to have barely any pages in it).
Occasionally its the i paper but not on a regular basis. Many years ago when working on building sites I used to buy both the Mirror and Sun when they were owned by the same organisation and other guys used to have a look at the sports pages when I was not arround. But one day I came into the lobby for my dinner, got the papers out of my bag and started to read the Mirror but something seemed odd. As I turned the pages the storylines didn't follow correctly and it took a few pages for me to realise that someone had swapped the pages around between the two papers, bar stewards they were
