Daily mail - never, ever again

I will never read the daily mail again either online or by newspaper.
The stories they keep pumping out about ISIS is making my blood boil. Some of the stories and the headlines are sickening. Every story they publish is about ISIS being the current theme.

Why do we keep giving ISIS the media and press? It's making me form very strong opinions about the people from that country, the country. I refuse to read this newspaper any longer after the last story I read.

Looks like the DM have had the effect they wanted by turning people against ISIS. Reality is, I won't be falling for it again.

    I hope this doesn't sound mean but....what did you expect from a newspaper?
    Newspapers don't sell as well if they reported the good side of people.

    ISIS is a country?

    That's a new one on me.

    What are they writing that is upsetting you so fervently?

    And what would you prefer they wrote about them?
    You didn't, did you? :rotfl::rotfl:

    The heinous and most barbaric things you could possibly do to a human being. It's on par with the Holocaust.

    I don't agree with it.

    I'm not sure if you're on a wind up or not? Which country are you referring to that you are (not?) going to turn against?

    I am glad it's not just me who is struggling to understand the OP.

    And I am pretty sure ISIS is not a country.

    Nothing else from the OP then? :huh:

    I would still like to know what he is on about.

    Is he angry with ISIS, or with the MAIL? And if it's the MAIL he is angry with, then why? If they have purely been reporting on the horrible things ISIS have been doing, then what on earth is wrong with that? Why does he think that the MAIL reporting about what they have done, is wrong, and that it means they are trying to turn people against ISIS? I would not imagine that many people are a fan of ISIS anyway!

    And why is he calling ISIS a country?

    I like to read the readers comments for a laugh, they can range from the ardent UKIP to surprisingly liberal.

    Very few posters have any respect for the Mail On Line.

    I love this deeply ironic twitter account summarizing Daily Mail reports.
