Fide Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 After years of headlines about the weather and immigrants, the Daily Express has outdone itself today with the most vomit inducing headline in modern history: What an utterly shite rag. I can't decide what's worse between this pish and the Daily Mail. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordecai Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 I've never ready the Daily Express. I've recently become exposed to The Scottish Daily Mail though as some guy brings one into work every morning. It's like one big piece of satire. It has an absolute hard-won for Nicola Sturgeon, every other story is about her or the SNP. The rest is just brexit and racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent length match reports for every game, right down to HL and LL, stats boxes, decent interviews and little of the Daily Record style <FORMER RANGERS/CELTIC STAR* THINKS OLD CLUB CAN WIN GAME> drivel. The Guardian and Scotsman can be pretty decent ways of killing a journey too.

I find The Sun least offensive of all as it's not especially preachy and has a bit of a sense of humour unlike most rags. Stuff like the Mail is incredible. Must be an incredibly foul bunch of people that churn out pish like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I avoid them all. Probably OT as there's no reference to the Express, however in the words of Jim Hacker: Hacker: Don't tell me about the press. I know exactly who reads the papers. The Daily Mirror is read by people who think they run the country; The Guardian is read by people who think they ought to run the country; The Times is read by the people who actually do run the country; the Daily Mail is read by the wives of the people who run the country; the Financial Times is read by people who own the country; the Morning Star is read by people who think the country ought to be run by another country, and the Daily Telegraph is read by people who think it is. Sir Humphrey: Prime Minister, what about the people who read The Sun? Bernard: Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits.

BFTD Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Managed to avoid having anything to do with them for years, but I started selling the things recently. Every morning's a new horror show, made worse by the fact that the Daily Heil outsells the others by a good four-to-one ...although I did notice the Sport recently had a back-page headline along the lines of "crazed inventor eliminates skidmarks". Watch your back, Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On holiday in Ireland with the mother in law, so having to buy her the Irish Daily Mail. A very poor product, not one mention of the SNP in it. I've not heard her tutting "oh that Nicola Sturgeon" once this week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernLights Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 My favourite Daily Express story of recent times was this one... Is 14-legged killer squid found TWO MILES beneath Antarctica being weaponised by Putin? The World Weekly News was a more credible source of factual news then the likes of the Express.

tamthebam Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Private Eye's "Street of Shame" column is always a good laugh regarding the dirty deeds of the press. Daily Heil editor Paul Dacre is famous for shouting obscenities at staff or as the Eye puts it "double cuntings". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
