I'm seriously considering censoring links form the Daily Mail. The vast majority of stories in that rag are bile filed inaccurate rubbish designed to provoke a reaction.
Censorship never does anyone any favours PLUS throughout the management upheaval in the Autumn the DM did seem to be one step ahead of the rest of the press regarding WFC news.
I *think* the ARRSE restricts any Daily Heil posts to its playpen ("The NAAFI") - I think this is rigidly enforced by its mods - I'm pretty certain that it's not automatic. Is it possible to restrict them by default to the Red Helmet Inn? There's quite an interesting bit from popb 1 tch on whether the Daily Hate's Online bit actually makes any money.
Censoring is fairly easy, just need to get http://www.dailymail as a censored word and jobs a goodun, just like your link above that was automatically broken due to using "b1tch"
it is actually ... if anyone else wants to just copy this and paste into your browser, change the # to an i and hit return http://popb#tch.com/articles/Profits_Of_Doom.html
Let our own little democracy decide. I would like a new "caution read with skepticism" section though.
I wouldn't like to see links to it banned because it neatly summarises the wrongness of thinking of some people on the right. It's culturally important as it provides the basis for so much 'common sense' that underpins the thinking of people attracted to UKIP, antagonistic to diversity or the evolution of thumbs.
It wouldn't matter if it was banned. Most of the untrue Daily Mail stories are to be found in the Guardian, and will obviously then be true!
I read it regularly. It's good to know what the plebs think / are being told, which is why I also read the Guardian, the Telegraph and City AM.
Its useful in that it gathers together the kinds of people interested in celebrity tattle, confused by statistical interpretation and still obsessed with princess Diana in one place where they can vent their frustrations and anger at the world. Its like a YouTube comment thread for people inordinately preoccupied with house prices
