Best way to annoy daily mail readers is to say daily wail, cor they get real defensive real quick, mainly I suspect because they know its true Mr. Green

Is this The Daily Mail that we're used to in the U.K.?

If so "odius little rag" is way too complementary Sad A family member buys it regularly and it's packed full of hate and ill informed bigotry Evil or Very Mad

That is so hypocritical - Karl and his show does all the same stuff he is accusing the Daily mail of doing if it is in his show's ratings interest - oh an Karl does have a bit of a record of embarrassing himself after a night out.

Sorry this is not a genuine rebuke it is a means to raise the ratings of his own show.

The pot calling the kettle black comes to mind.

Nevertheless his point is valid for most media - his own show included.

Hypocrisy.

But good on him for coming to the defense of his colleague. But he was also trying to justify himself.


But agree the daily fail is a horrible rag.

Well, there is pretty much any of the national dailies - none are as despicable as the DM.

Of course, we are all aware here that the Daily Mail supported nice Mr Hitler in the 1930's.

If there was a British version in the wings here - I'm pretty sure DM would be trumpeting his/her 'British' values.

To illustrate this, their most appalling recent headline has to be the "Enemies of the People" front page. If these judges HAD been lynched by DM crazed crowds, I'm pretty sure the Daily Mail would have been reluctant to blame anyone but themselves for going against the will of the people and upholding British Law.

Whenever I see someone reading the Daily Mail, I think - "yep, that person would be likely to have voted for that pleasant, sensible Mr Hitler, had they been living in Germany in the early 30's"

Apart from that, I'm sure the Daily Mail is a lovely read.....

The Daily Mail is a bigoted, racist, homophobic, hate-filled, nationalistic rag. Other than that there's not much wrong with it.

One can't use the word "bigot" without being bigoted oneself, that is indeed ironic.

I am bigoted when it comes to the Daily Mail and their ilk. Being intolerant of racist, homophobic, hate-filled rags is bigotry in the strictest sense and I'm happy to be a bigot in this case.

Maybe they read one of those 'special' ones; big gaps between words so can follow with fingers or maybe one requiring crayons or maybe just the ones with suggestive pictures Laughing

Lighten up guys, they're chip wrappers, they all report the 'basic' details and it's downhill there on for all of them Thumbs Up
