    This really does my * nut in. If I want to know what people are saying on mumsnet reddit facebook or any other * website I'll * log on to them.

    I don't want to read about * nothing posts in the newspapers or in the news.

    Am I the only one who feels like this?

    I don't. But it's on the websites of normally "decent" papers.

    For instance the Mail. I do not like the politics of the Mail, but it's normally a decent paper. But lately it's full of * from mumsnet etc.

    The main stream media decides what "news" is, they print what they want you to read.

    Nothing but gutter press.

    The Mail is not and never will be a decent paper. The * Daily Sport speaks more truth.

    I agree 100%. BBC News is very guitly of reporting on social media opinion as if its news. But its a lot cheaper and easier than reporting real news and valuable opinions

    The Mail has a lot of interesting articles, in particular ones about WW2. I have no time for their politics but have always found a lot of reading in the Mail.

    But their reporting of mumsnet etc is doing my nut in
