Topic: The Daily Mail

It evens the owners family have convinced him that the brand is utterly toxic .
Seems that maybe a more outward looking paper in the future?

I wouldnt go that far. They still have a core demographic to capture.

Its an interesting decision but if I were a migrant I wouldnt be expecting many positive articles just yet.

The pivot remains possible. But it would not be arguing Brexit is wrong. It would be arguing May et al are fucking useless and fucked it up. That is a line that should hold traction with Mail readers.

The best we can hope for is the Mail campaigning on important things, something which they are good at. Such as that shite meat we are likely to get from the States if we drop our standards.

By their standards of course...  this is the paper that backed Hitler!

It will be the old ‘stab in the back’ theory, Remainers/Remoaners, the Establishment, Socialists/Marxists, immigrants, Muslims and the Jews (can’t have a good conspiracy without them...) stabbed the great British volk in the back and betrayed second Reich.

But it leads to a pragmatic effective Remain and the end of the Traitors headlines...

Someone from Best for Britain on the Remainiacs podcast said that they set up crowdfunding after the Mail accused them of a secret plot to stop Brexit (by reading their website I think) - they made £65k in no time.

Safe to say the Mail's approach has backfired in many ways - losing advertising, arguably losing political influence too. Rothermere knew he had to act.

It’s great news, let’s be honest. Dacre is a vile specimen.

Its good news in a sense, but they wont be dropping the anti immigrant tone any time soon. It sells papers and ultimately thats the only thing journalists and editors care about.

Greig isn’t anything like Dacre, but if it does continue then we know it’s down to the owner.

The only difference between the Daily Mail and The Rag is that the Daily Mail never ran a headline that said "The Truth"

That's it.

Hassinator, some time ago, drew my attention to this read on the Mail. Andrew O'Hagan doesn't pull any punches about Dacre or the Mail under him. Just the first paragraph:

Only got round to this bookmark the other day. Lovely piece, cheers for sharing!

The ultimate in unashamed irony is the Daily Heil using the ECHR to protect the names of their 'journalists' accused of using illegal behaviour to get dirt on celebridees (hacking/tapping/bugging/etc)

Utter c*nts. I'd cheer if anyone put a cleaver through Rothermere's skull.

One of the most depressing sights is the faithful readership with a copy under their arm or in their trolley. It's just relentless lies, hatred, fear washed down with bucket loads of hypocrisy.

I'm sure they rely on their readers being too old or too angry to remember their many about turns.

An awful, awful paper that's done untold damage to the country.

My 87 year old father-in-law loves it.  He hates non-whites, gays, lefties and liberals; and thinks a woman’s place is in the kitchen.  Still thinks Brexit will bring prosperity.   He believes every word he reads.
