What is Britain's worst national newspaper?
The national press seems to plumb new depths of awfulness daily, particularly during the election campaign. Comment is presented as news.
Which one would you select as Britain's worst and why?
I nominate the Daily Express. It tries to copy the Daily Mail but does not have the staff or ability to do it properly (not that the DM is a role model). Even the most loyal of Express readers must have become thoroughly fed-up with its constant harping over Princess Diana's death, house prices, Madeleine McCann.
In the 1950s and 1960s the Express was a respected newspaper but now it is a joke.

The express is the worse paper in the UK.
And considering the competition, thats some claim.
Whilst I'm inclined to agree the 'Oooh Ahhh Daily Star' takes the prize simply because I find their grammar appalling.
Whereas all the other Nationals are thick, one-sided and irrelevant!:D
so, would you choose the Daily Sport over the DM...?
I agree, the DE is an absolutely appalling publication.
"The World's Greatest Newspaper"? Yeah, and
Patrick Stewart has The World's Hairiest Scalp!
How can the Express be the worst paper ?. I presume most people against don't buy or read the paper just comment on the front covers, btw Diana/Maddie are rarely in the paper these days.
Yes it has it's faults and if you compared it to the Mail it's content does lack in comparison however at least it know's it's a tabloid the Mail seems to suffer from delusions of grandeur if you want a quality read go and get the Guardian/Telegraph or Times.
Read alot of different newespaper and as said the Express is far from perfect but has better news coverage than the red tops and in keeping with tabloids generally better sports/football coverage than the qualities.
However you are defining 'worst paper' I'd say either the Mirror which is appallingly put together and the Independant which is a joke and charges a pound for the priviledge.
I would choose anything over the Daily Mail.
And I'd choose anything over The Guardian. This thread is so subjective!
I noticed nominations the subject was for newspapers so that excludes The Daily Star and The Sport which are not newspaper imo.
I wish, their recent reports on Cameron have sickened my left-wing stomach with their praise
That said, most news papers these days have a pair of tits in the early pages.
The Sport has a young buxom lady topless, the rest usually have David Cameron and Gordon Brown.
If I had to pick one out though I'd have to say The Star because to me it is the newspaper equivalent of a supermarket lost leader for OK mag.
I was going to say the Indy for worst paper, but after reading a free cut down version of the paper yesterday, they seem to be going in the right direction after the former KGB man bought the paper and reinstated the former editor.
Other bad ones:
- The Sport
- Daily Mail
- The Sun
