The Daily Telegraph.....

If you are stupid enough ...

You should know by now he is

If you are stupid enough to believe that the Telegraph is any more "truthful than any other broadsheet then you do not deserve to live

Got a good cut price deal on that, one CB and I'll throw in a few million Sun readers. I'm saving the daily mail brigade for some truly awful fate mankind hasn't as yet invented.

I only read a paper that prints the truth, and if I was in any way sure that lies were printed I would not buy it. The Telegraph is very politically biased and manipulated by Labour and lies to promote its propaganda, as has been proven by recent events. I also have complete contempt for the BBC for similar reasons.

I take it that you don't read a paper then.

I read a paper which has a political bias but I can honestly say that I am not aware of them ever having deliberately lied. Occasionally of course, honest mistakes can be made by newspapers but anything that is a deliberate lie could well stop me reading it.

Mmm, used to buy the Telegraph and some still do occassionaly.

I thank the Telegraph for persuading me to put my main pension
into cash in 2006 with their articles on the bubble economy/debt
mountain existing in the UK. Strange the Telegraph seemed
worried about how things were shaping up and Gordo was
blissfully unaware ....

Prefer the business coverage in the Times now though.

Occasionally you should read the competition to prove yiu are still making the right choice.

If you've read ity for 25 years and only been annoyed at it's content once, I'd suggest you carry on. That's a fantastic record.

Haha - true!

What was wrong with the McBride story?

1) GF spoke to a number of journalists about the emails he had; the DT said that they were offered them and declined to purchase them (debatable - GF has said he didn't sell them to anyone)

2) The journalist (Andrew Porter) is well known for being McBride's drinking buddy. Looks like McBride knew GF had the emails and used Porter to try and spike the story/spoil it because they knew it would be in the Sundays. Porter wrote Saturday's article without naming McBride (when everyone knew McBride was the story)

3) The DT article made out that it was a minor 'blogger's spat', and that it was just two mates exchanging gossip - which of course it wasn't.

4) The DT has therefore allowed itself to be used to print what No 10 wanted it to say

5) The DT is still claiming they broke the story - utter rubbish.

I've read it for about 25 years now; I always thought that the sport was excellent, the news and business good and Alex is worth the 90p on his own somedays.

But - the way they approached this whole Guido/McBride email thing has annoyed me - they were used by McBride to try and spike the story and ran it as a front page on Saturday; a tactic which completely blew back in their faces. Even in today's edition they are trying to claim it was them that broke the story.

So - which paper do I switch to; or shall I just become one of the legions of Metro reading morons and crib everything I want to read off the Telegraph website when I get into work?

How about buying... the Daily Telegraph?!

I presume the sport is still excellent, the news (bar recent politics) and business are still good and Alex is still worth the 90p on his own some days.
