Evening Standard tries to compete...

those tabloid size papers are stupid
if you're not clever enough to fold and unfold a broadsheet on a train then you shouldn't read one

they want stupid people to buy them
And other stupid people will think they're clever, but clever people will know they're stupid.

Good point,
but one that's just as valid for the broadsheet version of the Times.

always assume
Times readers are stupid, because they invariably always are.

But what IS a good newspaper to read in the 'ning?
Daily Mail is shit
Daily Express is shit
The Sun is Shit

Infact, appart from The Metro, they are all shit.
(Save the cheesecake, save the gonz. Withered Bill, Tue 30 Dec 2003, 16:38, archived)

The Guardian
or The Independent. Well, I think so anyway. Reading any of the others means you're stupid.

Just noticed that you're suggesting Metro isn't shit. Say it ain't so...

it's like reading an oil slick.

they
get everything written in a certain style; like wot you might get if the Queen wrote each and every one of the articles, but different.

The Sport.
And the Racing Post.

Read any newspaper
that you enjoy and/or find interesting. Not some dullard, ill-informed Murdoch rag in the mistaken belief it'll make you look clever.
( mechamatsimpsk, Tue 30 Dec 2003, 16:44, archived)

or read a book...

the metro
is the worst of the lot.
it's published by associated, the same cunts who do the daily hate mail, but it's aimed at poisoning the minds of a younger generation. grrrr
