Are they really any worse than other newspapers like the times, though? Just because they're more obvious about their reporter stirring?

I don't think even The Telegraph does such outrage outside its commentary sections. At any rate it doesn't claim things are happening to try and whip up its readership most of the time. If anything I'd say the Mail is most unintentionally obvious and places like the broadsheets are most intentionally obvious.

What's really sinister is that they never directly attack the person they're attacking, but hide behind "x was hurled into ANOTHER row". Much like "some people say" on Fox News, no-one but them is actually saying it.
THANKS..but it wasn't me. I am no longer in Plymouth (hence the name change). The sentiments are possibly similar.

Of course it was.

You're one of the few people who kept banging on about "criminal" activity.

For heavens sake - you might as well stand by what you've said or not bother piping up.

I'm just wondering why he's replying to MY post which is about the Mail's journalists, not his comment.

Stuart - is there a reason why you keep choosing to reply to topics by the Private Messenger system? That is not what it is there for. If you want to reply to my post then do it in the thread.

Please refrain from using the system in that way, or I will have to remove the privilege from you.

No you didn't. Stuart did by messaging me to say, "I don't know what you mean" as a reply to my post above - which would make more sense in the thread - if anywhere.

mmkay, yes that would make more sense. Perhaps we should all post the PMs he sends us as replies to threads!

It was a complaint which I cancelled (and explained through pressing the wrong button), should I continue the procedure?
