Just interested in which paper you tend to read. If at all. Or your opinions of them will do.
Me...
I find the Fail utterly depressing as I'm sure you all do.
Express talks about the weather constantly and little else
The Sun is something of a joke
The Mirror ditto, in fact all Mirror group papers
Observer hard work for a thicko like me ;D
Telegraph and the independent might get my money to see what they are like if I could be bothered. But I can't be arsed with a broadsheet they give me arm ache and are too much agro to fold up. ;D
-
None.
Used to get The Telegraph, but get all my news online these days. :y
-
Newspaper web sites count the same. Come on, which ones. :)
-
Nothing here, even when I did it tended to be the local rags, Northern Echo or Evening Gazette. I occasionally buy one, and these are also the sites I would go on if looking for latest local news...... :y :y
-
The Metro ... 'cos there's loads of 'em left on our trains and stations! ;)
Tend to have a shifty whilst having a cuppa during break times.
Not a bad read, all things considered. Some very interesting articles usually. ;)
-
OOF! :)

...is not a newspaper, Sir Tigger ;D

Not bought a paper for many years. At one time I used to buy the Sport regularly, I liked knowing Elvis' whereabouts. ;D ;D
-
Nothing here either, except for the local rag on a Friday. If it wasn't for the great unwashed, who can't wait to get the latest gossip on BB, I reckon quite a few of the tabloids would go belly up.
No bad thing. ::)
-
enjoyed the sun, when it was first published all those many years ago, before Murdoch and co got hold of it, read the exprees for a while before that again got silly, went then to the times until that stopped dealing with news and got boring, tried the telegraph but as chris said to big to hold and too many big words. various others over many years, but nothing now, all online these days !!
-
Times, but it has gone downhill, and is almost as bad as the Mail in its prurient reporting style. :(
-
Irish news every day :y :y
-
read most of em online, have to say most of the reporters i have worked with over the years should not even be allowed to read a newspaper let alone write for them
-
Last time I read (Looked at) a newspaper I think Debbi Ashby was posing in it ::)
-
Physical Paper
Standard or Metro picked up free
Daily Telegraph on Saturday, I like the Motoring and Travel sections
Online
BBC
Telegraph
Independant
I used to use the Evening Standard a lot but then it got so overloaded with fancy scrolling adverts that it became almost completely unusable.
BUT BUT BUT . . . . my absolute favourite online news source is . . .

Did they ever manage to get that bus moved off the moon?

Used to have the Daily Telegraph delivered, but I cancelled as an economy measure a few years a go at the height of the current economic depression. Then I used to use the Daily Telegraph website, but now it has gone behind a paywall I have looked at others and none comes close to the Telegraph, so at some point I expect I will take out a subscription.

Pretty much the same as me. But I've never found myself not being able to see what I want to see on their site. Nver been told "you have to pay to go further". So wassup ???
-
I bought a paper today for the first time in ages.... The Fail on Sunday! ::)
So with civil war in Syria, Egypt on the brink of, the Labour party having a spat with the unions, a plane crash in the US, a train crash in Canada and a Wallaby crash in Australia!!
What did I get on pages 1 to 3? ??? Charles Saatchi and Nigella Lawson's relationship breakup and impending divorce...... ::)
It'll probably be another couple of months or so before I buy another.... :-\ :)

Keep it simple and informative
Online: BBC and Telegraph or Independant. Will tell you most serious stuff that you need to know
Physical paper: Not easy, but probably Telegraph, a bit right of centre but pretty good with general news
Mail and Express ? Sorry just tatty rags. They used to be well respected, not now.

I agree! Should never have put news on the front page, let alone gone tabloid.
Been reading it every day for the last 53 years, except when I lived outside the UK and couldn't actually find it every day. Can't understand the Guardian, can't agree with the Telegraph, can't even read the Independent.
But life is too short to read the Sunday Times.
-
They're all a waste of trees, IMHO. If they printed them on slightly more absorbent paper, I might be able to find a use for them. ::)
-
I read the Mail religiously to find out what the Kardashians are up to every day, naturally.
If I read too much actual news I'd read more things like this and then I'd be putting up razor wire: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-berkshire-23226119 (that's the road behind mine).. ;D
