Guardian vs the Daily Mail
Guardian vs the Daily Mail
I don't follow British papers, but I take it the Guardian is the respectable one and the Daily Mail is the tabloid?
Both them posted articles today on Edward Snowden's girlfriend.
The Guardian:
"Lindsay Mills, a 28-year-old performance artist,"
http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/ju ... s-guardian
The Daily Mail (in huge bold headline font):
"Pole dancer girlfriend of Edward Snowden"
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article ... ds-newsxml
Complete with skimpy videos and strip club Youtube clips.

Well, the Guardian is broadsheet left-wing snobbery. What any avowed socialist, er, earning $1/2mm+ (pref via some tax haven) would likely read.
I can't read it, as at a base level it's whole existence is hypocritical.
Poorer people do not read it.

Daily Mail is a completely different kettle of fish. It's a tabloid yes, but far more intelligent than the like of the Sun or Star. It is pitched at educated middle class women - Yes - despite the apparent prurient nature of the article you link!
Well here's an in-depth analysis on whether or not it makes sense to read the aforementioned 'Mail' organ...
Should I read the Daily Mail?
And to save time looking at the organ itself, here is a handy Daily Mail Headline Generator, which I think may have been mentioned on here before.

Haha... I have seen other tabloid-headline generators.Steve1960 wrote:What would they make of the Sun or the Daily Star?JR8 wrote:[Laughing-like-a-drain] ... that's so true...
I recall a couple of genuine headlines though:
'Freddie Starr ate my hamster' - The Sun
'WW2 bomber found on moon' - Daily Sport
The Sun has some classics, if interested google on

It's quite entertaining to me (in a way that they probably didn't intend). The problems arise when it tries to portray itself as a strident, campaigning, truth-seeking, serious publication. Some readers fall for this pretense and actually take it seriously, with unfortunate consequences...
