  • According to the BBC...

    Britain's newspapers:

    Daily Telegraph - broadsheet
    Financial Times - daily business broadsheet
    The Guardian - daily broadsheet
    The Independent - daily broadsheet
    The Times - daily broadsheet
    The Sun - daily tabloid
    The Mirror - daily tabloid
    The Scotsman - daily broadsheet
    The Daily Mail - tabloid
    The Daily Express - daily tabloid
    Notice how the two most right-wing of the ten are not called daily newspapers? I wonder what the thinking is behind that, because they are just as daily as the rest of them.

    Liberal bias.

    I think a more accurate description for The Daily Mail would have been 'sensationalist bullsh*t taking advantage of gullible and characterless people like Stewart Spink'

      Have you actually read it recently? There's only about two or three articles each day that are nonsense, but that's no more than most papers.

        Two or three articles are nonsense, the rest are worse...a pile of badly-researched, over-opinionated bullcrap.
        I wouldn't wipe my a$$ with the Daily Mail in case I caught something.

          More like sloppy editing I think.

            Sloppy yeah.

            But it does also seem like they are trying to denigrate the Telegraph and Mail. Which knowing the BBC is probably an aim of theirs.

              It's probably because they are listed as the "Daily Telegraph" and "Daily Mail", so it's pointless to indicate that they are daily papers.

              The fact that the Daily Express is pointed out to be daily is probably the result of sloppy editing.

                Considering that the name of the two papers in question actually have "Daily" in them it's entirely redundant to list it in the description. The error came in adding 'daily' to the description of the Daily Express.

                    My parents get the Daily Mail. Whenever I visit, I have a habit of picking it up to read through it, and I am always thoroughly disgusted. It is a truely bigotted pile of crap.

                    I always then berate my parents for reading it, which they don't appreciate, since they are knee-jerk conservatives (unlike Bods, who is just a jerk conservative).

                      I was going to say that as well.

                      I guess if Bodds wants to invent liberal bias he can do it.

                        At least the Daily Mail started the whole referendum for a referendum thing: giving people a say rather than ignoring what the majority want.

                            You really reckon the BBC is unbiased?

                            Explain to me why they criticise the BNP, a party doing all it can for British people, a lot more than they criticise Galloway, a man doing all he can to give state secrets and support to Saddam Hussein?

                              The BBC isn't biased, you are just looking at everything from an extremist perspective.
