poontang Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 (edited) Ok, so what with all the goings on at News International this week it's obvious nobody on here reads read the NOTW or the Sun So what are we all reading to keep us up to date with worldly goings on? Personally, I tend to get my news from the tv and internet, seldom reading the papers. In fact I can't remember the last time I bought one. Occasionally I'll pick up the Sun at work if someone brings one in (usually only in the footy season though), and if I'm visiting my dad I'll have a skim through his Daily Mail :o What about you lot? Oh, and don't try impressing us by putting Financial Times if you can't spell pigeon Edited July 10, 2011 by poontang Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pegasus bridge Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 the observer sundays, guardian sat. before anyone leaps in to point out what a pile of left wing muck they are, yes, i know, but i find as long as you read with that in mind, the quality of reporting is good!

FalconFN Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 I don't get a daily paper as I get most of my news from Radio 4 but we get a Saturday paper, usually the Independant and sometimes the Times, and that will last us all week.

ME Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I voted for none. I watch the ITV news every night and that tells me the important stuff. I used to get the Mail on Sunday but found it increasingly to be sensationalist rubbish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVB Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 I use the Internet for all of my daily news needs both here and in UK. In UK we have the Sunday Times and the Saturday editon of the Mail as the Mrs likes the TV section. I used to be a regular Daily Mail/MoS reader but stopped due to their sensationalism and specifically their Banker bashing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vole Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Very occasional Sunday Times as it lasts all week plus the local free paper . Otherwise I get my news from Radio 5 or Google News . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 (edited) Metro in the morning and Evening Standard on the way home - Both freebies at the station (and both backed by the Daily mail i believe). More something to pass the time than for news really. Except for the Nemi cartoon, 'cos she's as fit as a butcher's dog!!!

amateur Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Daily Mail readers :blink: - well at least that explains a lot of the posts on here... Swiftly followed by the Times and the Telegraph - a proper lot of right-wingers ... I agree with the long-lasting effects of the Sunday Times as noted by vole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Used to be Telegraph. Abandonded it in disgust when they got rid of Simon Heffer for repeatedly speaking truth unto power. Restricted now to Pigeon watch, Sporting Rifle and BASC mag. Much less depressed/angry as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 The Metro is OK its free enough to keep me happy on a bus or train ride! i is OK, I tend to read papers more at other peoples houses than my own. Most Mail readers excuse is they only only buy it for the crossword! Missus used to buy NOTW for the TV mag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 don`t buy a paper, i either read the news on Virgin home page or on sky text, if i`m up in London i`ll grab a metro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

allthegearandnoidea Posted July 11, 2011 Report Share Posted July 11, 2011 Metro in the morning on the way to work, sometimes City AM also. The evening on my way home it's the Evening Standard. All are free papers. I used to subscribe to the Telegraph but it didn't always arive at the station newsagent before my train which meant it was costing me more to subscribe to it than to buy it each day when it was available. Since cancelling the subscription I rarely buy a paper. Sometimes read the Sunday Times in the pub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
