Which national daily newspaper is best?

have you seen todays (well, today as in 8 hours from now) front page on the Express? :| The topic begins with D and mentions a cover up.

That ****ing newspaper is bloody obsessed with Princess Diana. I wish they'd just drop it and all the other rubbish conspiracy theories they come up with too.

At least the Sun et al are just trash. The Express pretends to be legit - it's the worst newspaper on earth.

what is teh attraction to diana though? I dont have anything against her but i dont get why papers/people are obsessed with her. Do you think people buy it becasue theyre interested, or they buy it and think theyre supposed to be interested in it becasue the express/mail claims to represent british values ect.

You know, it isn't so much about Diana as it's about the whole charade. There is a man who was accused of being over the limit and on drugs when the car crashed. There is thus a family who have that on their heads. If it isn;t true, then he needs to be relinquished from the sigma of being to blame for her death. I see a legitimate need to continue to push for the truth, from at least this angle.

Shes also not that fit and doesnt sound very intelligent. Im sure she was a nice woman, but I think she cultivated her media persona well.

Anyone seen the cover of this week's Economist? Its a belter. I love how they claim to solve massive problems (like the population decline problem) and then do it in 1 side of A4 :smile:

i dont think so. my mum's not particularly "british" yet everytime the express (usually) or daily mail (not so often) has diana across the front she gets it.

she married into that outdated ridiculous institution, now she's dead, people need to get over it

It always pisses me off that people who die before their time get posthumous virtue attached to them. Why? I don’t want to come across as a Diani hater, I’m not, but she was clearly savvy about coming across as a very caring 'nice guy', you can see it clear as day in archive footage. I don’t see how people can be naive enough not to pick up on it.

so what if she was putting it on or genuinely nice. there are millions of nice people who die every year, why's she so special? she got knocked up by one of them special people who are much better than us mere mortals.

If its during the week its either times/guardian/independant or morning star if I feel like going on strike. On Saturdays it either the Indie or the Guardian depending on whats got best headline or freebook/dvd (I liked the poker one I got last sat in indie), ON Sundays its either the indie or the Times.

The Times confuses me, It seems to change its politics each week. Especially between the culture pages and the News bit.

The Times, can't say I'm that fussed though, I'll read the Grauniad and The Independant. Though I would not ever read The Daily Mail, Daily Star, Daily Sport, The Sun or the The Mirror.

I try to read The Guardian every day. I used to like The Independent but the style of its front page really annoys me and I don't think it's very effective.
The Guardian has an excellent feature section and its supplements (especially the media/reviews supplements) are a very good read. I also love reading their weekend magazine. However, sometimes the front page is a little bit dry.

I stopped taking the reviews section too seriously after readign a review a while ago on Lost in Translation where the author went on for like 8 paragraphs about how the movie was racist and portrayed Japanese people in a bad light, without once actually talking about the actual movie. It was like reading some of the music reviews off of pitchfork, where the guy reviewing will sometimes just go on about random **** while only sparingly talking about the actual music.

Boo :nn:
