He does love a good double down though as well: “In a follow-up video on Saturday, Adams attempted to clarify his comments, likening them to former Vice President Mike Pence’s policy of avoiding one-on-one interactions with women, out of fear of what Adams described as “getting me-too’d when maybe you didn’t me-too anybody.”” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Going off topic, my favourite comic strip of all time is still Burton Silver's 'Bogor' - a lone Kiwi woodsman living in the bush with additional characters including marijuana-loving hedgehogs and snails. Probably wouldn't get published today but it was exceptional. As for the OP, None Of The Above, but read Private Eye every fortnight which calls out our awful press on its shortcomings. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't read it, you should. Basically, all the papers are shite. Private Eye has some good investigative and campaigning stuff in it and on balance is a force for good. But it doesn't half have some small c conservative middle england tendencies. The architecture guy is always raging about churches installing disabled toilets or some dilapidated mediocre building getting a glass extension. He fucking hates glass extensions. The music guy gets sniffy about any music that isn't played in evening wear. The press reporting is three pages of gossip about which reporter got pished and called their editor a c**t. Fair play for expanding the "from our correspondent" section though. Needs more of that. On 26/02/2023 at 12:00, Cosmic Joe said: Viz magazine is still on the go Now that's essential reading. Admittedly rarely buy it nowadays but when i do, even though it's mostly shite, it always has at least one bit that makes me piss myself laughing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure that the Press and Journal sells more than the Scotsman and Herald combined. On 20/02/2023 at 22:30, Rugster said: It does. About 25k a day P& J and about 20k combined Herald and Scotsman. Which, given the utter shite in the P&J, speaks depressing volumes about the backward and reactionary character of a great many in that region. ETA - that's not to say The Herald or Scotsman are good. The Herald has been shit for about 15 years and The Scotsman has been shit since about 1990.

Melanius Mullarkey Posted February 28, 2023 Share Posted February 28, 2023 Bought a (Dundee) Courier the other day as there was a chance the bairn might have been in it (she wasnt). £1.55 for what was essentially a Tory propoganda rag. Worse than the P&J. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to buy the Guardian and Observer when I was younger but think the supplements have gone downhill (apart from the New Review, which is still worth a read). Now I only buy the FT weekend and it takes the whole week to read - excellent reporting, fairly centrist and phenomenal supplements. You can select more than one paper. I've included all UK papers, and one option for red-tops/Daily Mail as maximum allowed in a poll is 12. The Scotsman is clearly a tabloid these days, so should be filed under the penultimate option. Terrible poll, should have to serve a ban for the options. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if PE have changed their stance recently, but until at least a few months ago, they were very much on Rowling's side regarding her transphobia. Shades of when the very same esteemed organ used to have it in for the gays and took the side of the nutters who reckoned MMR jabs were giving kids autism. I still have a subscription, but I've noticed recently that the previous copy is often still in it's cellophane by the time the next issue arrived. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always found the Street of Shame stuff terribley cliquey and of very little relevance to the general public. But I suppose a lot of their sources are/were journalists and that sort of stuff kept them happy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
