National Newspapers

[Fingerprint]

Which national newspaper do you read and why? Which newspaper do you hate and why?

[tell-me-more]

The Independent. I think it's a quality newspaper, with a lot of news in it, rather than just rubbish, and I feel that it's written pretty well.

[shammydodger]

I read the Times, because it's free on the web. I hate the Daily Mail. It ought to come with a free suicide kit, because the future isn't worth living for, apparently.

I read the Daily Express because Princess Di is still the most important thing in my life.

[OBonio]

I don't. I visit the BBC News website frequently because it's easier to sift through the rubbish. Hate most papers though the Daily Mail has a certain comedic quality to it. All the people who buy it day in day out and believe every word... I think the editorial team have a good laugh at them most days.

[JackDanielsU]

Usually read the Times online

Occasionaly buy the Daily Mail to have a giggle..and look at the Peanuts strip

Hate the Sun...not sure if they know what facts and truth are

We buy the Daily Mail on a Saturday, because I think it has the best TV information for the week.

I wouldn't buy a newspaper whilst the shops still have toilet rolls.

If there is such a thing as the "best" newspaper probably the Independant.

By far and away the lowest of the low is the daily express or daily mail whose only purpose is to promote the tory party.

Some might say the sunday sport is the lowest, I would disagree inasmuch as they dont pretend to be anything other than what they are, just a comic.

I read The Independent a couple of times a week, but usually check it out online. I cannot stand the Daily Mail. It represents a reactionary, backward looking Britain that I despise.

[WoWo]

I read the Times, only for the sport and the Suduko. I do actually keep meaning to get one of the other "quality" papers but keep forgetting.

I started buying it because it was the first (or the second) broadsheet to produce a compact version, I used to buy a broadsheet but it was just too difficult to read on the train.

Can't stand things like the Sun and Mirror. I know the Times is as often as bad but I tend to read all the sport stuff and just glance at the rest.

Telegraph - only cos there was a special offer on a 6-month subscription a while back. Only really read the sports section anyway. Which is fairly crap to be honest.

[littleoldme]

I don't buy a national paper, although I do occasionally look at the online version of The Independent. Other than that, I get my news from the TV and radio - by and large, they report the news without trying to tell you what to think.

Hi..i only read the local paper that comes free every week. For national news i just watch the TV. I wouldn't give many national papers any of my time as they're just full of cr@p.

[noxlumos]

I buy the Guardian and the Independant and read the Times online. I usually have a quick mooch through the Sun for comedy value and the Daily Mail usually has some sufficiently nauseating headline to make me read it in indignantion but I never buy either.

[-GrimReaper-]

I am an intelectual so the only newspaper worthy of me is The Sun.

[shaneystar2]

I get the Telegraph on a Saturday for the Weekend section (crosswords),Gardening ,Property and Arts and Books and read the Indie on line. Read the news on the BBC website as well.Buy a local rag on a Friday mainly to see who has been hatched matched and dispatched !
The Daily Mail is the biggest bigoted load of old cobblers of a paper ever to be printed.

I feel someone should put in a good word for the Daily Mail here.

Unfortunately it won't be me.

[mightyWBA]

I stopped buying them a few years ago.

Self opinionated Celebrity driven nonsense,full of brain washing propaganda.

I buy a local newspaper for local people.

The Express and Star.

[PhilBy]

I heard that only the descendants of Ramses II read the Daily Mail :-)

[johnlambert]

Daily Mail, go on have a go, I dont care, I agree with most of the editorial content.

I cant abide the Sun,it's a comic just like its readers
