Daily Mail is becoming a Joke
The standard of journalism is appalling. Every day we see at least one example of the following:-
X cosies up to Y Z is rocking (insert item of clothing) Female (99.9999999% of the time it is female) "celebs" have an adjective before their name which is invariably "Pregnant Jane Smith " "Busty Kathy Jones" "Leggy Sarah Brown" or whatever. Somebody is flashing their pins, tresses, "keeps it casual" in XYZ or whatever they are wearing (or "rocking" )People like Kerry Katona, Imogen Thomas or that Jeremy character from Big Brother described as "the star" Some "celeb" or other is always "leading the pack" "Why so shy?" or "Why so glum?" used over and over when someone is just going down the street shopping or going about their business. It is so boring, juvenile, tiresome and unoriginal. Half of these journalists are kids from local Gazette papers as well. I looked one of them up and the vast majority of her articles were about "Coleen". Says it all. |

Makes a lot of money for all concerned, so it isn't going to end. Just look at all those 'candid' photos in the park for a zeleb needing some exposure, while the Mail can promote the clothes worn for sale.
Of course, the Mail is happier to have people think their hacks are being intrusive than actually know it's very well organised and suits both parties. The mugs are the readers, and clearly enough fall for it all every day or it wouldn't be the norm. The success of the Mail Online is scary. It's a winning formula, however much we hate it. And that's because the haters can't stop reading it either. |

I do try and read newspapers from all spectrums and political leanings and so I do read the Mail online sometimes. I think the online versions of all newspapers are becoming less professional in their use of grammar and "stories".
The two stories that I am sick of from the Mail right now are the "can you spot xxxx in this picture?" Example: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/ar...rs-teaser.html The second type of story, which for the life of me I don't know why they keep posting, is "watch as doctor squeezes the biggest blackhead EVER - the reaction will shock you!". I don't know if the reaction will shock me or not as I never click on those as it will make me feel sick. I also recently discovered the name of a phobia I have had for a while and somehow I just KNEW that the DM would cover it and lo and behold, a couple of weeks later after learning its name, an article on the phobia appeared. I clicked on it, saw the pictures and was itchy for the next four hours.

Why do they think people want to watch blackheads being squeezed? It's sick.
It's like those prats who go on This Morning, shagging cars and the Eiffel Tower, having orgasms and vasectomies live on telly. There is something wrong with them and something wrong with people who like to read/watch it. I only looked at that story and others like it to take the mick. |

They have a habit of detailing someone's job and house value.....tragically today they proclaim than dinner lady and daughter have been stabbed to death, no mention of the house value so it is likely rented.
Sensational "journalism" at its worst. I did Google a recent name and the lady was a lifestyle reporter from my local paper. |

Sod checking the article to see if you have a point. It's widely known that the DM has been an inferior read even to school toilet tracing paper for many a long year. The fact you felt the need to report the fact now only proves that you had no better idea for a thread. Perhaps you should apply to the DM for a job, their journalists are about as clueless.

According to Private Eye the following was listed as potentially a major problem in the Daily Mail's annual accounts-
"The majority of our newsprint is sourced from the EU" They might have to swap to (presumably more expensive) British ink! |

For anyone that likes to see the DM and Katie Hopkins wince - a grovelling apology that cost them £150K. Only took them a year to say sorry!

Although to be fair all the other tabs do exactly the same |

The Daily Mail had an item about Tom Cruise entering and leaving a toilet when he was making a film. I kid you not. Quote:
Divorce leaves Tom feeling flushed: Cruise visits loos THREE times in 20 minutes on Oblivion set
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz...ivion-set.htmlThat was worth reporting? That must be the most lame showbiz item they've ever done! |

I can't be doing with the stupid headlines, like: "The Skye's the limit for young pupil Skye Smith" or "It's gonna be a treesome for tree-surgeon John Smith" They really make me cringe and now our local paper is doing the same. Uuuuurrrggghh!.
