jdc325 has a piece on Daily Mail inconsistency: Daily Mail & Self-Awareness

I’m not sure why the Fail think it is so odd to use fish to study human weightlessness but, at the same time, fine to assume that research in obesity-prone rats will apply to humans in general.

No Sleep 'Til Brooklands has a pice on Guardian / Mail writer Tanya Gold and her journalistic priorities:  There's a war going on, you know! Quick, someone else write about it!

So let's have a look at what Tanya 'shut up and start talking about important genocides' Gold has been talking about recently. A week ago, Gold was writing about the aforementioned woman on Britain's Got Talent. The week before, she was writing about the pressing issue of how she doesn't like posh hotels any more. She's written recent articles about how much she likes a character from shit 80s soap Dynasty, and going further back an urgent public service announcement about how why you probably shouldn't go out with men that want to fuck other women. A glance through her articles sees her talking about diet pills, her weight loss regimes, dating advice, gap-year students, trying to track down her ex-boyfriends, Judith Chalmers not wearing any knickers, Carry On films...

The Daily Quail has a wonderful post mocking the Daily Mail's man in Florida Richard Littlejohn: RICHLITTLE: The answer is simple

I wrote some shit about that Darling bloke and his wife having breakfast too, like, where I made up some stuff they might have said - it seemed funny at the time (I was pissed) but actually, looking back at it, it was pretty shit and didn't even make sense, so I won't go into that now. Even Hitchens said it was bollocks, and when he tells you something's crap, it must be crap! He knows shit writing, that guy. Oh well, what do I care? All about the dollar innit? So long as I get paid, who gives a flying pisspot!

The enemies of reason makes a welcome return with a post on Racism in the Daily Mail: The patriotism of St George's Day

the Mail's article even helpfully agrees with the BNP's request to use the more respectable title of British National Party - and the commenters? Plenty of 'indigenous Britons' dog-whistles from the BNP bombarders voted up to the nines, and anything remotely liberal crucified by other commenters.

I'm too tired and hungover to try and find anything else this week.
