Overtly paedophilic? It's been a while since I lived in the UK and I never read the Mail when I did but this particular accusation is new to me. I've heard most of the others levelled at it before but what's the story behind that one? If anything I'd have associated them with Brass Eye style "paedophiles under the bed" paranoia (though in light of revelations of the last few years maybe that wasn't so unjustified).
- EliRivers 11y agoThe Daily Mail uses a set of code phrases to indicate to its readers when underage girls can be viewed as something to have sex with. Here are a few links. http://www.themediablog.co.uk/the-media-blog/2013/01/daily-mail-turns-the-creepiness-up-a-notch.html http://www.themediablog.co.uk/the-media-blog/2013/01/daily-m... http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/all-grown-up-sexing-up-the-internet-with-the-daily-mail http://www.vice.com/en_uk/read/all-grown-up-sexing-up-the-in... http://www.newstatesman.com/martin-robbins/2012/06/sex-children-and-mail-online http://www.newstatesman.com/martin-robbins/2012/06/sex-child...
- afandian 11y agoEDIT: this was the Daily Star not the Daily Mail. This is the Daily Mail though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKzgDBumCr0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NKzgDBumCr0 That was one of the great ironies of the Brass Eye special. One one page of the Daily Star a criticism of the episode. On the other page a sexualised picture of a child. http://www.anorak.co.uk/303258/news/leveson-inquiry-charlotte-churchs-15-year-old-breasts-and-chris-jefferies-hair.html/ http://www.anorak.co.uk/303258/news/leveson-inquiry-charlott... There's tonnes of stuff like this. They're quite open about it.
