Do you like the Daily Mail?
2 of 4
The dead tree press and website are two different entities really. Just some shared columnists and stories.
Well I have to admire the Daily Mail's, er, tenacity: it's been fighting a war against gay rights for four decades...losing every step of the way.
Why do you think it sells 10x the number of Guardians and what does that say about our people?

How is it the most succsessful news paper website in the world?

i loathe it with a passion but read it online most days to reaffirm how one shouldn`t believe everything written in the papers.
i do think it [and its associates] are responsible for a lot of the creeping nastiness that seems to be starting to dominate our society and they are shamefully divisive.
it now has roughly a third share in a lot of local newspapers and the standard of journalism has seen a marked drop since ours was sold off to it.

I'd say that the words 'Like' and 'Daily Mail' in the same sentence is a bit of an oxymoron. A contradiction in terms, so that should also answer your second question.

The Guardian is a serious paper which does not print unpleasantly biased stories against immigrants, Muslims, benefit claimants etc. So of course it's better than the Mail.

No, but I believe the Mail said that cats crapping in your garden could give you cancer

Like? No.
But you need to look at sources you disagree with as well, even if it is to drill through a story to find the facts (rather than the headline), something at which the Mail excels.
And the 'sidebar of shame' is entirely why it gets the clicks

I do. I can't say that is the best newspaper out there, cause there is no such thing. Having said that, it's better to me than the liberal labour crap Mirror the Guardian, the Sun, or the likes of Daily Express and Star. When I get a chance to get it in my neck of the woods, i read Daily Telegraph.

Simple answer to that one:
Clickbait.
Which is going to generate the most interest; a headline about the latest round of discussions between Greece and Germany or 'Muslim Paedophile Benefit Scroungers... etc?
A review of a new documentary about the work of Carl Theodore Dreyer or prurient pictures of a 15 year old actress 'flaunting her curves'?

Understandable. People will click on what they believe has relevance to their lives.

In what way is the Mail better to you than, say, the Guardian?

Even if it's completely made up.
I like the Daily Mail. I never buy their newspaper, or any newspaper. But some of the "journalism" on their website is very entertaining. Like yesterday, a non story about an easy Jet plane that made an emergency landing at Liverpool, because it had an engine fault. By reading the article you'd have thought that all hell had broken out. Only later in the article did you find out that pilots returned to the airport as a precaution.
On top of that you also have the ludicrous spelling mistakes and grammar errors, that a year 9 student wouldn't ever make.
It has some decent pictures too...
Half the articles I never even read. Just the headline and the bullet points underneath it, then straight to the comments. To which the a***holes have banned me from posting and I've no idea why.
The Daily Mail is better than left-wing rags like the Guardian. I wouldn't even use it to wipe my arse crack.

They could just put on a slick of lipstick, showcase their pins, style their tresses into a fashion forward up-do and go for a walk down the street rocking their style and it would be like they were there.
I often end up at the Guardian, Daily Mail and the Telegraph websites via links from other places - like here.
I usually like the comments that people make more than the articles. In fact, I sometimes don't bother with the article, and just read the comments
Personally, I think the Daily Mail is more entertaining than the Guardian and the Telegraph, but you really can't take anything in any of them very seriously as their bias is always as clear as day.

In what way exactly? At least the Guardian makes an effort at serious journalism. It's hardly a "rag".
