There's a funny,rag level newspaper in the UK, called DailyMail. I suggest reading comments under the article about this, gives a good idea of how naive people can be. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7514787/Facebook-forced-reveal-encrypted-messages-terror-suspects-paedophiles.html#comments-7514787 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7514787/Facebook-fo...

The daily mail comments section makes the Mos Eisly cantina look like a respectable day at ascot.

  I agree, it's pure cancer and I think right now 40-60% of UK's population has it, in varying stages..

  That's the nerdiest, but most British description of them ever. I'm nicking that.

Nothing funny about the Daily Mail, it's the mouth piece of the reactionary idiots on the right (there are just as many on the left before I get tagged as a liberal) and has been for a century give or take. This is the newspaper that had an editorial starting with "Hurrah the Blackshirts". https://www.globaljustice.org.uk/blog/2017/oct/31/horrible-history-daily-mail https://www.globaljustice.org.uk/blog/2017/oct/31/horrible-h... Other than using it as a way of keeping an eye on what some people in my society will believe (because the Mail told them to) I see zero merit in it's continued existence. It's a cancer with a masthead.

  The rest aren't much better. The Express and Telegraph were right facing, honest but partisan newspapers forty or fifty years ago. Now the Express is a racist comic, and since the famously and comically reclusive Barclay brothers bought it, the Telegraph is working on getting down to the Mail's level. The Mail are currently working on buying the i. There really isn't much left on the right that you can rely on. Which is depressing considering most of our press is right leaning.

    That's why I read Financial Times, however even they started leaning towards extreme left,instead of simply being a newspaper of facts with no political bias.

  I fully agree with this. I know people intelligent people who used to be pretty liberal; years of reading this vile hate-rag seem to have poisened their minds.
