This is really just a perfect example of how society splinters on certain lines.
I give my mother endless shit for reading the daily mail, it is a pre-clickbait indignation generation machine and the website is probably worse.
However, "most of society" does not ring true to me. I am the outlier not the default.
- psychphysic 4y agoAs a percentage of the population daily mail readers are miniscule. And aging. If you asked a hypothetical 100 people their thoughts on the Daily Mail the number who report reading it would be dwarfed by the number calling it trash.
- petre 4y agoThey claim to reach 65% of UK audience, I wouldn't call that minuscule.
- ipaddr 4y agoBoth are true statements. 65% read it. 90% say they don't
- ceejayoz 4y agoI used to work for a newspaper; reach claims are basically bullshit, as they can include things like "saw an article online in the last 30 days" or household multipliers where they assume everyone in a subscribing household reads it. Circulation is much more informative.
- psychphysic 4y agoIf they actually sold 40 million papers a day as this guy believes I wonder how much wood they'd consume in a year.
- psychphysic 4y agoHahaha you really think the daily mail sells 40million newspapers a day!

I think there is more socio economic bias in your belief of the above than you think. Rural vs Urban, young vs old, educational differences etc. I have no proof, but I reckon the pro-anti numbers are closer than you do and the number of "no strong views" higher.
- harvey9 4y agoMailonline website is editorially separate from the print newspaper last I heard. Not saying it's better or worse. All the press is a click bait indignation generator, just different ones cater to different tastes in indignation.
