Which daily paper, and why ?
« on: May 02, 2012, 07:08:07 PM »
I don't buy a daily paper.
Just the Sun on Saturday, purely for Clarkson and the telly book.

I don't buy actual newspapers any more. I now read the Guardian website every day and occasionally the Mail and the Telegraph's site.

I don't agree with any of them all the time, but the Guardian is most aligned to my thoughts.
I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

Nothing during the week.
On Sunday I buy the Mail on Sunday, also more for specific writers and essays, rather than factual news. (I like Dominic Sandbrook who is a regular contributor, and recently presented the BBC2 series, The 70s).
Also the mags, TV guide, etc, fills a couple of hours on a Sunday morning when not much else is happening.

Preferred sourse of news is Newsnight if I stay awake long enough.

We don't have any other magazines etc, as the so called celebrity gossip, etc, gets on my wick!

Plus I buy the DT weekly, so I can look at the pictures in the Obituaries.
Might be someone I knew  :(
I might live in Boza, but work in town, so don't see Boza people or get local gossip.

Metro - its free and does not publish crap like the Sun.
Otherwise don't buy papers as its yesterdays news.

Mirror, though getting increasingly pissed off with stories about celerities and becoming less inclined to  buy it every day. If I commuted to work by train and therefore had time to sit and read I would probably get the Guardian.

If I've time to read one then its the Independent, if not I read the I.
News without the political bias undertones.
