    All of the press is biases qwerty123, but there is generally agreed consensus and common sense to tell us which papers can more or less be trusted to tell a news story without deception and distortion, and which cannot be trusted to even give the date accurately.

    The tabloids, specially the S*n and the Daily HateMail, fall into the latter category.

    The Sun is not renowned for the quality of its journalism. In fact it mostly makes things up. But yes, I'm well aware of the fact all sources have a bias. Which is why I quoted a source from The Times earlier, a paper not known for its left wing views.

    If The Sun is the best you can do, then your arguments are pisspoor weak.

    If you quoted a source from Socialist Worker I'd take the piss even more. They're a bunch of eedjits mostly.

    So qwerty123, you are saying the Guardian is a rubbish paper because it reports the news? You aren't really backing yourself up with any evidence, everything you have said so far is just your opinion, which is what other posters were talking about earlier in this thread.

    yes thats right I hate that paper.

    No, evidence for these comments -
    If it was for that daft paper we would now be speaking German and be under German laws.
    The Sun is the beat selling paper, along with The Times, telegraph, Express and Daily Mail. Also the Star is near enough selling a million copies a day. Them all represent the views of most of the British people, thats why they are best sellers.

    You are allowed to dislike the Guardian, just like other users are allowed to dislike the papers you mentioned. But if you can't substantiate any of your opinions you can't blame people for not taking you seriously, and you won't last on the politics board very long......

    I feel that a fued will bulid towards us, please, i don't want to fall out with you. Your a MOD thats all i need! I know you don't agree with anything I've said, fair enough, ok.

    Mods don't have feuds. I think you are missing my point. It has nothing to do with whether I believe you or not. If you say something you need to be prepared to back it up. Perhaps you might like to have a look at the rules for the politics forum again too.

    Well consider this your first warning then querty123, if you continue to make unsubstantiated generalisations and be argumentative, we will have to ban you. Its called trolling and we don't put up with it on these boards.

If it was for that daft paper we would now be speaking German and be under German laws. There left wing views are no good for this country, ever likely it doesn't sell many papers. The Sun is the beat selling paper, along with The Times, telegraph, Express and Daily Mail. Also the Star is near enough selling a million copies a day. Them all represent the views of most of the British people, thats why they are best sellers.

    You guys are werid, if someone has a right wing view you hate them, papers with right wing views yo hate. God get a life!

    Oh dear. :rolleyes:

    Can I be rude to him Lady Jade? Please? He deserves it.

    I would almost have to agree with you there, but there is not point in stooping to that level. Play nice.

    Obviously a tabloid full of sexist, homophobic, xenophobic and racist innuendo that thinks the exploits of footballers are more important news than politics, war and justice is clearly "better" than a broadsheet.

    You've made me see the light there. Let me cancel my subscription to the Guardian and the Morning Star and get the S*n delivered to my door every day. :lol:

    Is this the best you can do? My cat does better attempts at trolling by walking on the keyboard mate.

    If only! :lol:

    You'd think they'd give me a free subscription to the BNP newsletter if I subscribe to the S*n? That just might prove too good to resist.

    If it is pnj, he's taken quite a few steps backwards into total ignorance since he was last here. He was starting to understand just how bogus much of what he was being fed by the US media truly was.

    He sounds like that fool giantno1 was posting on here a few months ago.

    Have you posted here before qwerty? If not, its amazing how there seem to be lots of people as ignorant as you expressing similar views, with appalling grammar.

    No, you're not ignorant for having opposing views, you're ignorant for not knowing why you have those views, for knowing nothing about history, for having no grasp of the English language, for knowing nothing about the media, for not being able to back up your arguments in a sensible way etc.

    Have you posted here before under another name?
