Has anyone noticed the Daily Mail is the most quoted daily paper in this news section.

Is it because of the way the Daily Mail journalists write?

One rule for Daily Mail journalists is to always quote huge sums of money when it comes to writing about asylum seekers and immigrants.

The journalists dont actually KNOW how much they are getting in benefits, or how much security is costing, so they just throw in a number that sounds awful enough to upset Daily Mail readers.

For example the question above says "�50,000 a day", but nowhere in the article does it say "�50,000 a day" for anything.

Dont get me wrong, I am no fan of Abu Hamza and if he died tomorrow I would shout with joy, but we do have to be careful of believeing everything (anything?) the Daily Mail writes.

Read the Daily Mail, but try to look through the WAY it is written. Many articles are written deliberately to upset the Daily Mail reader, dont let them succed.

Vehelpfulguy I think this is true of most newpapers and remember they are there because people choose to read them. There's an old newspaper adage about not letting the truth get in the way of a good story so I try to be objective about what I read. However when it comes to political correctness, well, don't get me started.

Judging by some of the posts on this site it seems like the Daily Mail upsets others, much more than it's readers.

So glad they are succeeding, keep up the good work, The Daily Mail.

Newspapers don't exist to upset people. They exist to report news. Naturally, the news can be upsetting. But I don't think anyone buys newspapers to be upset. If that's the sole intention of the paper, then that does say something about its legitimacy.

The Mail won't outright make up figures - no newspapers do (well... the Sun might...), because it would just be so stupid and it's also very easy to get caught. What papers often do instead however is distort them or cherrypick them or manipulate them in some way.

Hence why I never buy British dailies.

From what I heard we can't send him to the U.S.A because he may be tortured?
The irony is that George W Bush is in Thailand talking about human rights.
Pots and kettles spring to mind.....

Kromo, I know from personal experience that newspapers do pluck figures out of the air in certain cases. It adds a sheen of credibility to a sketchy story.

Their test is this: are we going to get sued or embarrassed if this is wrong?

The answer in almost all cases is no. They receive an angry phone call from a press officer and ignore it.

Really?

That actually surprises me. I honestly didn't think people were that stupid.
