What Happened To The UK Daily Mail?

Very true. The unfortunate Russia narrative has been helpful to them. If the truth comes out and they are wrong, hopefully they’ll take a hit.

They ran some nastiness about Melania which she won a $3 million law suit against them. Since then, they’ve sunk to CNN levels against the Trumps.

Conservatives should take the time to comment everywhere in support of Trump.

Also tease “the Russians are coming” MSM meme.

They are everywhere, I tell you. No one is safe.

I saw a Russian walking down my street the other day. Figured he bugged the place. I ordered some of Hillary’s hard disc cleaning clothes to wipe the place down.

There are Russians welcomed into Congress. Git out the tar and feathers!

There could be a Russian hiding in that closet over there.

I took Ranch dressing; the Russian dressing was too dangerous to eat.

Thanks for keeping the globe safe from the Russians and the deplorables! You are a true patriot!

One thing the Daily Mail does right is it’s coverage of Melania Trump. They always have tons of flattering photos and positive comments.

I read the Daily Mail because of the stories er... photos of gals in bikinis on the right side column. The contents on the left side generally are bad news stories which I avoid.
To brighten my day I look to the right....

It would be great to have a paper out there where the coverage isn’t sensationalized clickbait but which is devoted to objective journalism - one in which the comments section could be somewhat civil. I know I’m asking for too much today, though.

The natural disposition is always to believe. It is acquired wisdom and experience only that teach incredulity, and they very seldom teach it enough. The wisest and most cautious of us all frequently gives credit to stories which he himself is afterwards both ashamed and astonished that he could possibly think of believing.

The man whom we believe is necessarily, in the things concerning which we believe him, our leader and director, and we look up to him with a certain degree of esteem and respect. But as from admiring other people we come to wish to be admired ourselves; so from being led and directed by other people we learn to wish to become ourselves leaders and directors. And as we cannot always be satisfied merely with being admired, unless we can at the same time persuade ourselves that we are in some degree really worthy of admiration; so we cannot always be satisfied merely with being believed, unless we are at the same time conscious that we are really worthy of belief. As the desire of praise and that of praise-worthiness, though very much a-kin, are yet distinct and separate desires; so the desire of being believed and that of being worthy of belief, though very much a-kin too, are equally distinct and separate desires.

The desire of being believed, the desire of persuading, of leading and directing other people, seems to be one of the strongest of all our natural desires. - Adam Smith, Theory of Moral Sentiments (1759)

If people didn’t want to be believed, would they even bother to talk? People communicate with the intent of affecting the behavior of the hearer/reader.
