I'm fed up of reading the Daily Mail, because I am not a woman, I don't care what style of swimwear would fit my body best and I am fed up of reactionary reporting ("99% of chatroom users are paedophiles!") and a complete lack of reporting of world issues.

I tried the Independent (new tabloid edition) but the fact it has a column by Robin Cook and yesterday interviewed Gerry Adams put me off slightly, as well as slightly too much pandering to Labour.

I tried the Express but it was, frankly, rubbish.

I quite like the Sun but I would like something I can read in more than a few minutes.

I refuse to read the Mirror, Star or Daily Sport!

I don't like reading a broadsheet while trying to eat my dinner which is the only time I get to read the paper :wink:

What do you reckon, The Sun or Daily Mail? Or shall I just boycott newspapers entirely?

Anyway, I was utterly amazed by how much dross there was, especially some "astrologer", "medium" (read: fraud, charlatan) called (IIRC) Betty Shine, who had a regular column espousing crystals and all the rest of the kook pantheon... Dear, oh dear!


God yeah - I'd forgotten those. "My dog died 10 years ago and I dreamt about him last night, is he trying to get back in touch with me from the afterlife?" "Well, yes it does ..."

I've only given the Indy two days so maybe the Labour conference has been influencing it's articles somewhat I'll try it again next week.
