13 reasons why the Daily Mail is the world’s worst “newspaper”
To understand the garbage media landscape of the UK, look no further than The Daily Mail. Founded in 1886, it was Britain’s first daily newspaper aimed at the newly literate lower-middle class. It combined a low retail price with competitions, prizes and promotional gimmicks.
Today, The Daily Mail is more than an outlet for garden-variety conservative politics. It legitimises xenophobia, racism and sexism. It maintains an abusive culture of celebrity stalking. Most shockingly, its readership comes largely from the educated socioeconomic layers of Britain.
You can buy a copy any day to see what a vile rag it is. To save you money, we have picked out some headlines from its recent past. These titles sound like things a demented zombie version of Hyacinth Bucket would write if recruited to a publisher specialising in slut-shaming humping puppies.
Enjoy these in the knowledge that the current owner, Lord Rothermere, is a tax dodging billionaire. His great grandfather was famously enthusiastic about Hitler.
The good old intolerance of intolerance spin
Nothing signals serious journalism like paying creeps with cameras to stalk pregnant women
So, a major UK newspaper echoed conspiracy nut Alex Jones over half a decade ago
Holy shit snacks: people age
Now imagine a drunk Mrs Bucket yelling something about “crashing some goddamned funerals”
The 1920s called to tell you that ambitious women are unattractive
Climate change? Well it rained yesterday so it’s just like, your opinion, man
People born with wombs can’t get PREGNANT when they get old except with creepy sea monsters haha get it?!?!?!
Just wow. There’s so much intertextuality and context you need to interpret to enjoy this fresh piece of photojournalism.
Read: “This flood of stuff I’m too prudish to teach my children about means we need internet censorship NOW!”
“Ethnic diversity”, sick children and a pound sign in the same sentence. That’s some smooth, low-key racism for you.
Look at this pattern of compassionate promotion of healthy lifestyles and actionable advice to treat people who are overweight
Lol! The phrase “porn seepage” sounds as though it’s escaped from a Reeves & Mortimer script.
I am proud to say I was banned from the DM comments section!
“Most shockingly, its readership is largely from the educated socioeconomic layers”
Why shocking? Educated people need things to laugh at
Ok, so the Daily Mail’s readers are highly educated on average? Could someone please fill me in on what kind of absurd, toxic school system produces clowntards like these people?
The people who read it can’t even tell they’re being slowly poisoned from the inside out
Proud to say i have been band from the Daily Mail 3 times for insulting it readers commenting.Words i have used.Retards,idiots.Morons,Fuckwits,and those are just towards the Mods.Seriously though if a picture of a new born baby dead washed up on a beach gets thousands of agreeing green arrows with comments along the lines of “well the parents should have stayed in Iraq” “”no one asked them to set sail”With one even saying “well thats one less benefit scrounger coming here”.Makes you really think of the type of reader that rag attracts.
Its banned not band. Know wander ewe wurr band. Lmfao
It’s it’s, not its ?
It is . not ?
the DM is the biggest pile of McDonalds there is but it reels them in every time! If we keep buying this tripe, it won’t be good!
To be attractive to their insecure readers you have to be a big boobed booby. But they are the real tits….
But, they do have “Highly toned abs”
I am sure the d.mail. tries hard to force thier, views on people, I get sick of the constant drilling into anyone who does ,i object to the constant condeming of china , various people , it goes on and on, what is the agenda , you are very biased once you get your teeth into someone you do not stop jane
I got banned for quoting a book reference, silly me thinking that DM readers actually have the ability to read anything more intellectual than Charlie and Lola.
Some of the comments on here (yours included Silentninja) would not look out of place in the DM’s online comments section. In fact much of the vitriol on here is worse than anything I’ve seen on there.
I find the Mail on Sunday is a very racist paper. I would not waste my money to buy. And its readers are from less educated people. That’s all I have to say
Daily Mail are heading towards a subscription model, pretty sure even right wing fascists won’t pay for their daily dose of conspiracy theories when they can find a zero cost cesspit to get them from (C-Span). Also, the UK has a public education system so it should come as no surprise that it’s readers are technically educated, unfortunately education has little to do with hate and petty spite.
The point about gay “marriage” that the columnist is writing against is completely true though, it’s completely possible for those in favour of it to be intolerant of those opposed to it, as the zeitgeist shows. It’s not a is or situation, rather it can be one, the other, or both.
Daily Mail, you like rest of England, Wales and Scotland, suck.
1st World Class suck.
Haven’t the first idea how to move the Free World forward
It’s like “The Onion”
but they take themselves seriously
Quite pathetic.
Someone in office should clean up the trash.
it damage the UK international reputation.
The BBC got to work overtime to compensate

Perhaps you could give us a clue?
Should be renamed ‘ Daily Hate Mail ‘
Ah well…you’ve left out Ireland (North and Rep.) Good on you…
unfortunately most of the older generation use it as their bible, they think everything printed in it is true, has putin an equilivant in russia to brainwash the population
Just got banned for the 8th time today, running out of log ins now.
When I inferred they were closet homosexuals, that really annoyed them.
Everything you hate about the Daily Mail is everything I love about it. It’s the top selling UK daily paper and has the second highest traffic for UK news websites.
Keep those leftie tears rolling.
Love ya,
Bye!
80% + off the daily mail “contributors” are jews.
let that sink in, then realize what you are actually reading.
The Daily Mail is just too damn soft and censors way too much. They act like hard leftists with their obsession of promoting cross dressing articles and their fetish with the modern state of Israel.
