I have one good thing to say about the Daily Mail.

[smirkymonkey]

They have great photos. Shit rag, but their photos are pretty much the best on the web. Case in point, the East coast storm.

1. I have to have my DM fix. The editing is so right wing and so error-prone but like you said...

the pix are great!!

2. Thanks for the heads up.

The photos are great.

[smirkymonkey]

4. Not quite sure how they do it, but they get great photos for a UK rag.

They must have a pretty strong US photography team.

3. The traditional answer is "It makes a great wrapper for fish and chips"

5. Somebody should write a daily mail browser extension

Strips away the text apart from photo captions and headline for context.

6. Love their blurred photos of naked sexual assault victims (/sarcasm off)

[smirkymonkey]

7. Never saw those.

I'm not sure what you are talking about. Maybe I just don't click on those articles.

[CommonSenseDemocrat]

18. It was posted in GD (the NY case where a girl's towel was ripped off in public - a DV case)

[Denzil_DC]

16. Yeah. British scandalsheets take the biscuit for hypocrisy.

But you can skip around all that if you try real hard.

Or there's the oh-so-well-illustrated spreads of whichever celebs of the day just happen to be pictured sunning themselves on a beach accompanied by cut-and-paste yada yada detailed commentary on their sex lives, curves, or lack of them, drooling over the skimpiness or voluminousness of their swimsuit, or the fact they've put on weight and let themselves go, how dare they, how could they not ...? But the pictures!

Or the latest scaremongering rightwing crap about asylum seekers, with just a smidgeon of fact mixed in, like all the best propagandists, or hatchet jobs on whatever the latest societal outgroup the Mail decides to pick on and incite its rabid commenters to pillory may be. Never a dull moment. But the pictures!

Or just about anything political that most of this forum rails vociferously, bitterly, and often at extreme length against on any given day. But the pictures!

But nice pics. Yeah, they've got that nailed. Let's link to them daily, mention them in passing so others link to them, reward them for their stances and send them ad revenue from a political board that used to think itself "underground," as long as they feed us just enough red meat by pandering to our prejudices, and we can look down our noses and call them a "rag" in an effort to inoculate ourselves while expressing approval, as if we're any better than those rabid commenters when it comes down to it. And then there's the pictures. We'll always have the pictures.

8. DM is my nightly relaxation.

[mr blur]

9. These photos exciting enough for you?:

Started going downhill in the 1930s, when Rothermere, friend of Hitler and Mussolini, urged his readers to support the Blackshirts. Hasn't changed substantially since then.

I thought that DU was not in favour of linking to vile right-wing sources?

[Nye Bevan]

15. Fake.

10. Yep

They always have pretty high res images. Only reason I go there. Their layout is good too.

[hfojvt]

11. provides a steady income for my son too

but he wants to be a paperback writer.

[malaise]

12. Always

Give them that

[Liberal_in_LA]

13. Yup.

[Liberal_in_LA]

14. Some daily mail pics

[Brickbat]

17. Some of their freelance rates aren't too shabby, as well.

[Blue_Tires]

19. Their celebrity sideboob shots aren't bad either

(or so I've been told)

[flamingdem]

20. Lots of closeted DM readers here on DU

Lately they've been playing more to the USA or I might get a USA version?

Anyway, I like to check out their sensationalist headlines and see what's up across the pond. The comments are brutal but sometimes insightful.

[smirkymonkey]

21. Pics of giant panda playing in snow.

I have to admit, I find it somewhat entertaining at times...

[closeupready]

22. it's the tabloid I love to hate, or hate to love, but

they do some things well, in a technical sense. Sad how that works.

[smirkymonkey]

23. Yes, I agree. I almost hate to admit that I go there, but it can be entertaining

at times. Hard to beat for photos though.
