Daily Mail is setting a poor example to children - Top Headteacher - Polidicks

[URL="http://www.theguardian.com/media/2013/oct/05/daily-mail-poor-example-says-headteacher"]Source[/URL] [QUOTE=The Guardian]The headteacher of one of the country's top private schools has accused the Daily Mail of setting an appalling example to young people as the paper faces a barrage of fresh criticism from leading figures in education, the church and media over its attack on the late father of Labour leader Ed Miliband. Following the Mail's claim last week that Ralph Miliband, a respected leftwing academic who died in 1994, "had nothing but hatred" for British traditions and institutions "including our great schools", Anthony Seldon, master of Wellington College, told the Observer it was the Mail that was doing real damage to British education today. "If the Mail speaks for Britain, it is not a Britain I want to be part of," he said. Referring to the paper's original article on Ralph Miliband eight days ago, which appeared under the headline "The man who hated Britain", he added: "It sets a very bad example to young people to belittle someone who is dead. I think it is nasty, it lacks taste and decency, and I worry about antisemitism.[/QUOTE] [IMG]http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/About/General/2013/10/5/1380992318400/Daily-Mail-editor-in-chie-010.jpg[/IMG] [QUOTE][video=youtube;5eBT6OSr1TI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5eBT6OSr1TI[/video][/QUOTE]

It sets a poor example to journalism in general. Really most of what they run is drivel anyways,

It's a poor example of and for pretty much everything.

I'm not one for censorship but the Daily Mail should be banned.

99% of mass murderers read the Daily Mail, and it has been shown to make children more violent. Furthermore it constitutes a blatant attack on British values, and disrespects the Queen Ban this sick filth

No shit?

Did you guys know that reading facepunch posts can give you cancer? [I]Daily Mail said so! [/I] Just by reading this you're risking your health!

[QUOTE=Thomo_UK;42425059]I'm not one for censorship but the Daily Mail should be banned.[/QUOTE] i don't know about a ban, but something should happen. what the Daily Mail needs imo is a major discrediting, like them inadvertently saying that white, middle-upper class conservative males are more stupid on average or something. if those guys stop reading then they basically have no other demographic

Daily Mail is for those brainless fucks who believe anything they've been told/read.

Can't do them for libel, since it's true.

I think we all worry about antisemitism.

It's the British equivalent of Fox News. I like them both but only for satirical value.

I see so much hate for the Daily Mail online, a lot of which feels very justified, but isn't it still one of the most read papers in Britain?

[QUOTE=woaka;42429456]Daily Mail is for those brainless fucks who believe anything they've been told/read.[/QUOTE] It's also one of the most popular and most used source for news and information. It's not just brainless fucks who read that shit and believe it but old people who don't have the energy and health to see what the world is really like. Wasn't there a video on youtube of a guy lecturing on the Daily Mail? I think it started with some examples of some really creepy articles on some kid celebrity and then the guy went in to how they sometimes use sources that lead back to themselves and stuff, it was really cool to watch, someone know what I'm talking about and can post it?
