I have a minority view that newspapers are not really very influential at all.
Last century maybe, but not anymore. They just reinforce pre existent prejudices. They don't mould society, they just reflect it. Their steadily falling circulation is evidence of this.

possibly, but that prick murdoch also has TV stations
still, you seemed to have shifted your ground somewhat from saying those papers aren't rabidly anti-muslim shit-stirrers to now just saying that they aren't very influential, so I guess that's progress of sorts.
I don't mind arguing with you, prufock. For one thing it helps sharpen my own arguments up that tend to become flabby and weak if people agree with me. If the topic comes up with someone else i'll know I'll be on point

1. They don't have falling reader numbers, just circulation. People use the web. Guardian has huge number of online lefty readers, the Daily Mail a similar but opposed audience.
2. They must still be very influential or you wouldn't sound like Richard Littlejohn having a paddy in every political discussions on b3ta ;)
