Ahh, the daily fail. The only UK paper which supported Hitler's rise to power and which continued giving him good press even after the war started. Some where there is a daily fail random headline generator which strings together words like "illegal alien government boondoggle caused by Asians", "immgrants rape cows", or other random nonsense but it sounds almost identical to the actual daily fail headlines.

Are you seriously suggesting that "nude rampage" is something made up by the Daily Mail? Well I never!

Most of the time it's those stories that infuriate them. You know, the ones that make them take the blood pressure meds.

Is it some sort of rag mag? Does it have any credibility?

Your thoughts?
It has no credibility in the UK, in the UK it is widely know as "The Daily Fail" due to the paper not really requiring any fact checking by its reporters and a propensity for nearly tabloid level "journalism" aimed mostly at conservative older white males. And not even the successful old white males as the Torygraph already owns that demographic thus the daily fail must content itself with the blue collar working class types who are mad some Polish immigrant has been undercutting his contracting bids at the construction sites. Thus the paper tends to be really xenophobic, like extremely xenophobic, in order to attract the right demographic but even so their sales keep declining so a few years back the owners decided to focus more on American news hoping their website would attract a similar demographic of uneducated and unsuccessful xenophobes in the US but ones who hadn't yet figured out what a complete load of tosh the daily fail was as the British older white working class had.

One of my favorite daily fail articles was about "drunk foreign sluts" who trick English teens into having sex with them. Yeah, I'm sure those 19 year old guys just needed all manner of coercion before agreeing to have sex with young female tourists whom they met in a pub.

What you see is the US version of it. You can switch to the UK version. They redirect you to US News because of your location.

The US version is actually somewhat liberal compared to the UK version, according to Brits I know.

In any case the Daily Mail is (unintentionally) the funniest newspaper in the English language. It often reads like satire. Of course if it was satire those behind it would be calling for it to be banned.

The UK edition to me doesn't look that different from the US version: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html (the US version's URL substitutes "ushome" for "home")

I meant as in US News/UK news. I have never looked at the UK section on there. I usually just browse the front page. Sometimes they have some amazing nature pictures. I like to use them as my desktop background

Or something about gay black Muslims in France molesting white tourists (Brits preferably but Americans, Aussies, Canadians, Kiwis, etc. will do as a substitute). Much like the C-D boards.

Their stock in trade is racism, homophobia, and above all xenophobia.
