Liz Jones Has 69 Million Readers?

[vernonk]

Liz Jones just claimed on CBB that she has 69 million readers. How can that be?

[boxtops]

I suppose if you count all her articles in various newspapers and mags across the world, plus the on-line publications and the Twitternits and so on.... I can't stand the woman, her newspaper articles (particularly when she split up from her ex) were mean, vain and vindictive. Nasty woman.

[Cloverjo]

Who is Liz Jones? The only one I know is a journalist who always moans about her neighbours and having no money. Long black hair, very slim, is that her?

[boxtops]

That's the one, cloverjo - she's in the jungle, long may she stay there :-)

[Cloverjo]

Ah yes, right. Awful woman.
I suppose she might have that many people reading her columns, although how are they counted?

What boxy said...

How come all of a sudden, well the past 12 months, she's bloody everywhere you read!

[Hopkirk]

I read her article in the back of the Mail on Sunday magazine yesterday.

That's five minutes of my life I will never get back again.

Absolute twaddle.

Oh dear (another journalist's view...) (ignore the bit about China at the bottom, the top's about LJ) http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/for-her-own-good-we-should-stop-reading-liz-jones-8681676.html

She saves homeless dogs and works with animal rescue charities so that makes her OK with me.

[boxtops]

wiki says DMail has about 2m readers each day - God knows who the other 67m are, then.

[DaisyNonna]

Never even her of her. Sounds like I am not missing much.

[boxtops]

They don't tell you about that bit, ladybirder....

[chrissa1]

She is all over the Daily Mail, so if you don't read the paper then you wouldn't know her. I can't stand her writing.
She did a critique of Kate Middleton's wedding dress saying it was too long and that that spoiled it. Stupid woman.

[Psybbo]

She's an animal lover, she's OK with me. I've only read her recently as a friend passes on the You magazine and I feel I have to defend her because of her love of animals

[boxtops]

I wouldn't defend the way she sla gged off her ex after they split up - talk about washing your dirty linen in public :-(

[boxtops]

I bet those numbers are greatly boosted by her being on CBB - it's still not 69 million.

[boxtops]

^ or perhaps that's cumulative!

[anneasquith]

she's in the jungle ?

[jomifl]

I hope she hasn't included me..
