How the Daily Mail stormed the US

[T_i_B]

Look you lot, the Daily Fail represents a huge amount of what is wrong with our country and you shouldn't waste your time with this garbage.

This is a shrill right wing propoganda rag that supported Oswald Moseley in the 1930's and hasn't really moved on a greal deal since then.

Like almost all UK DUer's I cringe when I see stories from this shitrag posted on here. It's the equivalent of using Rush Limbaugh's website for news stories.

The Daily Mail has overtaken the New York Times to become the world's most visited newspaper website, according to online tracking service Comscore. The biggest increase in readers has been in the US - so how did this very British institution do it?

There is something compellingly simple about MailOnline. No fancy site navigation, picture carousels or slideshows - just a front page with stories and pictures. Thousands of them.

The New York Times claims it is still the world's most popular newspaper website, because the Mail figures include visits to sister sites. But let that not detract from the British newspaper's achievement in going from nowhere to 45.3 million unique visitors a month in just five years. What is its secret?

1. Celebrity news
2. Unorthodox design
3. Big pictures
4. Long, long headlines

1. Sorry, but I find many of the stories

in the Daily Mail interesting. I do not pay any attention to the celebrity news.

3. Interesting if you enjoy hate

That's all most of the "news" in this shitrag is intended to do, facts are left by the wayside in attempt to make people hate. Hate immmigrants, hate gypsies, hate muslims, hate the disabled, hate science, hate the poor, hate anyone who works in the public sector who is neither a soldier or a Tory MP.

Either that or trying to classify everything in the world into "things that cause cancer" and "things that cure cancer".

2. Most US folks won't get it...the same way they think The Sun and The Mirror

are legitimate sources of news...

5. One thing I will say......

....is that the Sun is quite blatantly downmarket. The page 3 tits alone flag that one up as trash.

The Mirror may be left wing, but it is no better then the Sun or the Daily Fail. The trouble is that our conservatives are more interested in bashing the BBC, and that has less to do with what the BBC news reports and more to do with the fact that the BBC is state owned.
