Comments on: Which British Newspaper are You? – A guide to British Newspapers http://www.anglotopia.net/countries/england/which-british-newspaper-are-you-a-guide-to-british-newspapers/ A Blog for Anglophiles Thu, 11 Mar 2010 19:58:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Clare A Was W http://www.anglotopia.net/countries/england/which-british-newspaper-are-you-a-guide-to-british-newspapers/comment-page-1/#comment-15090 Clare A Was W Sun, 22 Nov 2009 01:07:38 +0000 http://www.anglotopia.net/?p=181#comment-15090 Being in the USA not England, I have to read the online versions to catch up with what's going on back home. I would rather pull my eyes out than read the fascist rag that is the Daily Mail. The online version is a little milder but the magazine is very far right blaming everything on immigrants. Stupid idiots. I tend to read the Sun (which can be a little irritating too). The Mirror's web site is so bad I don't even bother. I like the Times, Guardian and Independent but for the most part stick with the BBC news website and BBC America news.

The Telegraph can be awkward to read though, because of its broadsheet format. Well, I’m a university student and I tend to read either the Telegraph or the Times.

The Mail is generally considered to be the perfect example of Journalism that knows it's audience among journalists despite being poisonous rubbish, and the Sun is really just a platform for Murdoch to play out his power games. I've never been one for the "gutter press" as they're known, though I generally don't mind reading the Sun if it's around, it's slightly less political than some other Tabloids.

Right, it is a tabloid - but they are fearless. They will stick their necks out and publish. You generally see these same stories a couple days later in the broadsheets. The Sun is also very good re football (soccer). Again, they tend to get the story first and get it right. Frankly, the Sun also says what we're all thinking - but too scared in PC Britannia to say out loud. The Sun has just endorsed Cameron - like they endorsed Blair in 97. Bye, bye, Gordon!
