Hi Cow here.

 

Newsprint is facing diminishing sales but still remains popular with many.

 

Do you buy newspapers and what is your favourite and least favourite publication.

I hate newspapers. Filled with agenda driven pish that force feeds you opinions. No ta!

 

how is any editorial force-feeding you anything? it's just another opinion. which may or may not be similar to those you've already developed of your own on a subject. or give you a new way of seeing it. which you may or may not agree with. take from it what you will. but i'd not see it as forcing an opinion on anyone. :dontknow:

People read newspapers that support their views (I'm sure that there's a better way I could word this but my brains asleep) and that doesn't help anyone challenge their outlook on matters. I've attempted a few papers in the last few months, the independant, guardian, daily ranger, sun and some others that escape me for the moment and I haven't found one where I can just read it without having the journalists opinion weakling it's way in with selective facts and quotations.

 

One thing that especially pissed me off was whilst reading the shite newspapers (sun, daily record etc) I found that when referring to a musician they would say things like

 

Bob Dylan buys cheese for lunch (for example)

The story would then start with the words

"The Blowin' in the wind star" or "The Times They are a Changing singer".

 

Needless! Totally needless way to start a story. Give me the information then shut up.

I read The Sun every day.

 

Don't know why it gets a bad press, a great read. Deidre's problem page, the letters and page 3 being the highlight. Has politics, city news, World news, interesting articles, a health section, motoring section some days, great sports coverage.

 

Just an all round good read.

your favourite paper, a big cup of coffee or tea and a quiet hour is a great way to start a Sunday morning :)

 

i'd choose the P&J while there. the Sunday NY Times when i'm home. and if i'm travelling on a weekend, whatever the big local paper is will get a read.

 

That would be remarkable seeing as there isn't a P&J on a Sunday ;)
