garyupnorth Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Do you not think that the press is trying to make the UK look cr4p to make it less appealing to migrants, so the rest of us can enjoy the fruits if our own labour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpo1971 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I'd trust the Daily Mail before I trusted the BBC. Although, I'd trust neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gpo1971 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 There's not really any point to printing a 'how bad the Daily Mail is' article from a loony-left rag. What does that prove? You've added that as though it's evidence of something! They're all as bad, as biased and as incorrect as each other. Just choose your side of the fence.

pablo Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I don't. I just don't believe or dismiss a news story based on it's source. Most people seem to. Ive stayed out of the Daily Mail argument,but lets be honest,its a bleedin joke,flights from Bulgaria to the UK £3,000!! Bare faced ridiculous lies time and time again,ive said it before,there should be some kind of ethical press laws,over and over they inflame hatred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpo1971 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 The Daily Mail tells the same lies that the BBC does, just at the other end of the spectrum. I don't see many complaint posts on here about the BBC endorsing Labour's Wars, the BBC's pro-Israeli stance, the BBC's over-selling of New Labour policies, the BBC's approach to censorship... I'm not a Daily Mail fan but whenever I read "it's only the Daily Mail" it's a sure fire clue that whoever is discussing it is using a lazy stereotype and probably knows nothing about the discussion point. Not saying that's you Pabs, but it is 99%+ of the posts on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyupnorth Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Today's newspaper is tomorrow's chip wrapper, all sound bites wether left or right even sat on a fence in the middle there's going to be a biased opinion to suit. I take everything in today's press with a pinch of salt. as for the BBC news, don't make me laugh most biased program on the network. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it doesnt,the lies about £3000 flights were BLATANT lies,in fact an insult to the intelligence of its readers,not even a bit ambiguous,bare faced lies Wars have to be signed off by Parliament GP,not one party,do you think the tory party wouldnt have followed the USA?

Yeah well the thing is papers DO influence opinion,whether they end up as chip paper or not,papers basically vote in the party they want in power,so they aren't just chip paper are they? Maybe the BBC just likes to even things up against the likes of Murdochs empire,and no way in the world is the BBC as blatantly obvious or biased as the mail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gbye grey sky Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Problem is that papers like the Daily Mail just keep poisoning the well with a mixture of lies and half-truths. They may hope for a reincarnation of fascism to implement the policies they seek but they should be careful what they wish for. Demonising minorities leads to hatred and mindless violence ultimately. The media's ability to rouse the rabble should not be underestimated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
