I don't know why anyone would believe that guy's sensationalist bullshit, you'd have to be deluded and gullible to swallow that.

If you have a mind of your own you don’t have to rely on these people broadcasting it.
It is there to be seen, if you look for it, although you don’t have to look too hard to see the Mail for what it is.
If you disagree with his summation of the Mail, share your reasons with us.
More integrity and truth than the mail, telegraph, the sun and the rest of the tory supporting press. Deluded and gullible is the absolutely perfect description for those that give the fascist rags any credence.
You can't help yourselves can you? It's not about defending the Daily Mail.
Whenever someone voices an opinion that doesn't conform with the views of the self appointed overseers on this politics board they quite often get the "this post is something like you would read in the Daily Mail" response. As I've said before it's done to discredit the poster rather than address the post itself. So when an article appeared about why the DM is a rag of a newspaper (something I agree with by the way), I used your language to describe the poster rather than what he was saying. Just like you would do, but in your clamour to knock back anything regarded as taboo it's gone right over your heads.
Having said that James O'Brien
is a bit of a nob though.
His radio show is a bit like being on here where if he agrees with you, you are allowed to continue but if not he cuts them off.
While I'm here, there is a connected point to make about this board. I doubt it bothers anybody but don't you wonder why anyone with a different viewpoint never stays very long? There are some who aren't able to argue without being abusive it seems. Anybody who goes against the accepted political outlook is faced with a pile-on from the rest and any possible allies they may of had have long since been dispatched. Some of the talk gets heated, which is ok if "anything goes" but someone who responds like for like with a resident poster risks getting threatened with a thread ban.
There is also a theme of talking down to other posters that runs across many on here.
For example, from the usual suspects;
If anyone believed the "smear campaign" against Corbyn, they were gullible or stupid according to the political sages that inhabit the board.
Labour voters have more of a social conscience, which leads to a round of mutual back slapping.
After the election and even still today, comments are made about how Tory voters should be ashamed of themselves and are as much to blame for the state of the country as Johnson is. Just as Labour voters are responsible for the war in Iraq, aren't they? And you all voted for Corbyn and McDonnell (Smeared? No, don't think so) so past misdemeanours can be denied or ignored when it suits you. The IRA were responsible for 1700 deaths. So much for the higher social conscience eh?
Brexit voters were either stupid or racist or both.
These comments are made knowing full well that some members here voted Tory and probably Brexit too. Calling people racist without knowing their reasons for voting is unacceptable IMO but because they belong to the gang it's ok apparently.
I'm not a Tory voter or a DM reader (or believer), never have been, but sometimes I don't agree with everything that is trotted out on here. If you were a bit more tolerant of differing views you might get some healthy debate rather than the echo chamber this board has become.
