What papers do you read?

[modeller]

I read the other day that which newspaper a person's reads is a good guide to their beliefs. Is that true ? Gromit claims to read the Telegraph but I would think the Morning Star was more likely. Sorry Gromit if that's wrong but that's the impression I get.

[DrFilth]

the morning star has some good articles same as the telegraph and guardian

papers i will not buy are the times and the independent and the daily mirror

[funnygirl]

[DrFilth]

funnygirl fell out with the the mirror years back we used to have it delivered to the house

Interesting answers , not just which newspaper but why and why not .
I don't usually buy a Sunday paper as they are too big and heavy and tend to write far too much about the lives of celebrities, which are of no interest to me.

[DrFilth]

don't get chance to look at the sunday papers spend all my time doing the crosswords

[DrFilth]

how is this for a front page

I read the Sun because the bloke next door reads it himself, then lends it to me and I put it back through his letter box so that his wife can read it, so in effect I get a free read. However, I leave quite a lot of it out and only read the bits I find interesting - for instance I did not read the huge amount of pages dedicated to whatsername who died of an overdose. There are also a hell of a lot of adverts and sports pages, so not really much news. If I had to pay I would not bother.

I thought that it was de riguer for all Abers to read the Daily Mail, whether pro or anti.

I buy Sat and Mon Telegraph as they have linked crosswords but I read whatever are available when I have my pub lunch. I find the ' i ' a very useful source of news it's short and concise. I may read more Telegraphs as their current offer works out at half price for advance payment.

What about the Southport weekly, 10clarion?

[modeller]

Dr Filth Looking at your picture reminds me of the old Daily Worker especially the headline.

[daisya]

Don't read newspapers, my news is from teletext and online.

^^ what Buenchico said - there is a good crossword in the i, and I get all the news I need from it. 20p a day, good value. I buy our local weekly papers too, to find out what's not going on locally.

It would appear your newspaper choice is some indication of beliefs.
I notice those who read widely write the longest posts and the reverse is true. Price and convenience seems in part to over-ride choice . There appears quite a difference between reading and actually buying a particular paper. We buy for a reason such as crosswords and reject some papers outright which indicates a strong belief .

Hi Modeller - I said I bought the Telegraph today, although I haven't actually read it yet (not even the front page) as I just haven't had the time.

[Maydup]

We have a local daily paper which also gives the national headlines. We read it everyday, Monday to Saturday.

On a Saturday we also have the Times mostly for the crossword. Nothing on Sundays

I now read my Kindle...you can guess what.
