Why are most Daily Mail readers so bitter and twisted?

Most of them seem to have many issues. But has this grown from the paper or were they already like this? I guess the paper just makes them feel better as it shares their blinkered views? :confused:

    I know a few Daily Mail readers - they seem perfectly pleasant people with no particular agenda or axe to grind about anything. My dear old Mum (now no longer with us) read the Mail for years and she was neither bitter nor twisted, but then she said she only bought it for the crossword and wasn't interested in their politics.

    Only if you read the DM and then become bitter. You are good example I guess. :D

    What is it with you and the Mail? Did one of its writers get the last jam doughnut ahead of you in the bakery or something?

    Given it's impossible for you to have done such a survey I don't believe you.

    How spooky. I just came on to post a thread asking why most Daily Mail haters are bitter and twisted and have tiny penises. Does the smallness of the penis cause the resentment toward the DM do you think, or does a lifetime of hating the Daily Mail lead to a small penis?

    Good point:) With reagards to the OP it would seem very much a case of kettle pot and black;) Probably a session on a couch would help:D

    Guys guys it was just a question. If you feel so bitter about it do not reply as you are just strengthening my point really. :D

    Just as you're strengthening ours, so the universe is in perfect balance again.

    The ones that I know and if you read the comments online as someone at work showed me. Just an observation. :D

    I think it is the fact you have generalised it, like ALL Daily Mail Newspaper fans have a 'bitter and twisted' streak in them, I am sure some do, just like any other Newspaper fan.

    I have to say though, I am a 'News of The world' and 'The Sun' Tabloids man, so... this doesn't really concern me haha.

    Least mail readers are Not as bad as the low life scum that read the York " de-press" and don't get me started about "people" who buy this tosh.

    You know most of them then? Perhaps you should consider changing your acquaintance group, to not have to be exposed to them.

    Or to put it another way: why are so many new threads about the Daily Mail so loaded?

    Given that the rule of thumb is 3 readers for every copy sold, that would give the Mail more than six million readers. So to claim they are all 'bitter and twisted' is something of a breathtaking and idiotic generalisation.

    How about rephrasing your question to something like: why do more than six million people prefer to read the Mail?

    NB Tell us a little bit about yourself, El Guapo: your age, your occupation, the class you assume you belong to, the level of education you achieved and the daily newspaper you choose to read. It might make illuminating reading.

    It's not the Daily Mail READERS who are bitter and twisted, but the Daily Mail WRITERS.

    Most Daily Mail readers are probably (if I am generalising here) quite pleasant, conservative in their thinking (as well as politically in many cases), between 40 and 105 years old and uneasy about change. And the writers milk their concerns to the full, often to exploit their own twisted agenda.

    Don't forget racist and homophobic as well! :D

    Some years ago I worked on the Daily Mail "insert" line. This is a hotline set up for DM readers who didn't get a piece of rubbish that was meant to come out of the centre pages of the paper.

    This job was complete hell, and I quickly realised how awful DM's readership was. They seemed to think they deserved a privileged life because they were conservative. Whilst they moaned excessively about the fact their DM magazine was missing they constantly explained that they were Tories and how these things shouldn't happen to them. Nasty nasty people.
