Reading the daily papers....

I tend to give a few papers a browse online daily, just to see what major news stories are being contained by the drivel shown in the papers

You mean people use that stuff for reading??? I thought it was for potty-training puppies!

Actually I must say I agree with you..Media: newspapers included..does tend to stretch the truth far beyond understanding;)+

And there's me thinking newspapers are only good for eating your chips out of, or drooling over the half naked bods who haven't got an inch of cellulite anywhere on their body! I only get the local for jobs vacant and the paper on a Saturday for the FREE tv guide, ok so I'm a cheapskate sue me ;0)

I feel the same as u I will not read the papers u can guarentee u buy 3 at a time and they will all cover the same stories but have different versions. I like the news though.

I do enjoy reading the paper, but only to figure out how slanted it is. I've also written for papers, which gives me another reason to buy them.

Well there is one thing you can say the get right on there waynet; they always seem to get the price right:)+

Hi, I haven't read a newspaper in about a year now, most the information and lets face it better information can be found on the net these days. I just got fed up with all the so called celebrity news in there, since when have girls and wives of footballers been celebrities? So now I choose what to read and don't bother with the expense and waste of the dailies.

I know that there are bunch of lies in the paper but i know that the stock exchange can not deceive me that is why i usually buy papers.

well its not exactly lies. but the fact is that the news change daily so its no sense to read a newpaper since the information you have acquired today will not come in use tomorrow. the whole story will be topsy - turvy. but i like puzzles and sudoko in a newspaper. other than that the tv guide is also interesting. comics are also fun.

Lies according to who? News has always been what it was. Coloured by those who produce it, sometimes intentionally, sometimes unconciously. Regardless they are still far superior to internet sites or television. Print is held far more accountable than television. The internet has zero accountability. You just have to know how to sift the sources and decide what is reliable and what is not.
