I agree that the Mail has gone right down the crapper over the years, but the Express has done very well indeed of late. They were about the only MSM source to call both Brexit and Trump wins correctly in advance and their online comment writers are among the most switched-on and aware and certainly *way* more enlightened than the Mail/Mirror/Sun/Star axis. |

Here is another news item worthy of the Express - "Stopped clock gets the time right /twice/ per day!". And saying they have writers that are better than those of the Mail/Mirror/Sun/Star, is hardly praise. Once they can beat the quality of writing and jokes that we know from the Beano, you might have a point. |

The Mail's army of commenters are chiefly professional women in their 30s & 40s who drink far too much wine and can't get a shag. That's why they're always in such a vile mood. |

I heard it as a question a few days ago, can;t remmebr the details but it was which is best a stopped clock that gets the time right once a day or a working clock that only gets to be right twice a year ? (or something like that) The answer was a clock that is right only twice a year. |

And some of us don't need to be told more than once that we don't read the Express. Even worse, then. You praise it without even reading it. No wonder you voted leave. Did you flip a coin?

As a Scot, I find the propaganda broadcast by the BBC (about "North Britain") to be particularly amusing. There are obviously many individuals there who have taken to heart the writings of Goebbels. |

I'd much rather be seen reading Asian Babes in public than the Express. Hmmm. Tricky decision! In fact, there is no mainstream media source in the UK that does not print or broadcast bull****. Ditto people on this newsgroup, unfortunately. But some media make their income from spreading FUD, whereas others try their fallible best to get things right. Ditto people on this newsgroup, fortunately. As a Scot, I find the propaganda broadcast by the BBC (about "North Britain") to be particularly amusing. Where "north" is outside the M25 and possibly the M60. There are obviously many individuals there who have taken to heart the writings of Goebbels. Oh come on, it would be an extraordinary feat to be more right wing than, say Desmond, and the Wail was - and is - infamous for supporting Hitler. |

Well lots of reasons why this might work but none of them have anything to
do with inteligence except the lack of it by the reporters. Opto electronic effects. Incidentally if you crosspost this is not allowed in my server so I have to decide which group to use.
