Like I said on the Dancing with stars thread or whatever it is called, people have to realize good or bad most of the population love the tabloids and believe what they print. Frankly I find reading the serious papers boring and dull, yes they may be more accurate with the truth but on a lunchtime I don't want to read heavy stuff. There is a place for all different papers and we have to accept this. The inverted snobbery is much more sickening  |

Agreed. I get the headlines from the Metro in the morning and on t'internet during the day. Anything groundbreaking will end up being discussed on blonde anyway |

I think the tabloids are great, I dont use newspapers for news anymore, i can find it on the internet a lot quicker/up to date, so the papers are for light entertainment to pass a few minutes, and reading dear dierdre or sun-spots is far more entertaining then some pseudo-intellectual trying to tell me in 1000 words why socio-economic problems with regards to rastafarian bagpipe players is a much bigger problem then it was 11.343503507697 years ago, or other such tripe.

I don't think it matters which paper you read as these celebrity gossip type stories are in them all. Sensationalised in the Red Tops agreed, but most of the same info is in all the papers.
The key is not to believe every thing you read the mass populous in this country seem to be so gullable hence The Sun's ability to make or break Governments.
Luckily the majority of people on Blonde have their own mind. Thank God for sane, realistic people.
Wow I didn't think I'd ever say that about Poker Players........

Whilst most of us here on blonde would have the intelligence to read an article and take it with a pinch of salt, there are an alarming number of people that take what's printed in the tabloids as gospel...
There are also an alarming number of people who take what's printed in the bible as gospel. |
