Many of the links on BE come from the Guardian and the Independent. The Guardian has such a low readership that it has to resort to begging its internet trolls for money to stay in business. The Independent wrote such rubbish when in publication that it folded completely and is now only available online to satisfy the trolls. So I repeat my question, ‘can anyone tell me any other newspaper that has been so active in campaigns that matter so much?’ If you cannot name one then I, and I suspect many others, will treat your opinions as prejudiced and hollow.

I am referring to campaigns and the prejudiced comments against the Mail. You have all jumped to the wrong conclusion again. My posts reflect your constant prejudiced views against a newspaper.

A xenophobic hate rag? Do you (LouisB) mean the newspaper that has campaigned for justice for Stephen Lawrence?

Name one other newspaper that campaigned so vigorously for Stephen Lawrence? Just one.

Eric, I am not talking about who exposed what or which newspaper has dedicated sections in their newspapers: I am talking about campaigns, for example the Daily Mail 'Bring them to Justice Campaign' aimed at bringing private prosecutions against corrupt politicians in the MPs' expenses scandal.

It's not possible to be prejudiced against a newspaper. It's just a paper, with an editorial board and people who report or write in it. It's a business not a holy book.

The tribal approach to life, not just the brexit, is divisive and frankly just not very intelligent.

I know, right? This is why the Guardian/Independent readers aren't out with torches and pitchforks because Dick and La Mancha sometimes make fun of them, or Pulaski and Boiler call it the Graun. Quite simply, they don't give a toss because it's only a bloody paper.

I often refer to it as the Grauniad too. Back in the 1960s the paper was notorious for its typographical errors and Private Eye popularised the term as a gentle poke at the organ.

I've always been a dedicated reader of the Guardian though but don't take everything in it as gospel: unlike Daily (fill in your rag) readers.

Oh, no? Is that why LouisB says the Mail is a xenophobic race hate rag when it has campaigned for twenty years on the Lawrence case? Or others’ constant sneering remarks about newspapers they don’t read?

SoS, I make fun of the Guardian and Independent only out of retaliation. I do not care much for any newspaper. I don’t believe much of anything they say. I agree they are only bloody papers.
