Bazooka Joe Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 The last time I saw a decent match report in the Bristol (Eve) Post, we had two players called Bryant and May. I agree - lets all go on strike and Swan off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Independent only exists online now doesn't it? Now very openly left oriented, despite it's proud claim on it's inception that it would be free from any party political bias.

The Dolman Pragmatist Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Online sites are fine for instant news, but difficult to browse for all the other bits that go in a paper, such as music and book reviews, and particularly the opinion columns. I want to read some debate about what is happening in the world, not just the bare facts. And in any case, you can’t line a cat litter tray with an iPad.

ChippenhamRed Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I buy the i most weekends, which always includes a quote from someone on here! Other than that everything I read is online. I wonder if there’s still anyone out there who doesn’t know the City score until they read it in the paper on a Monday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderHider Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 I've been impressed with the EP coverage of city recently, especially since they got the new bloke in who loves doing his vlogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CiderHider Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Daily Mail is pure trash, sometimes my news portal takes me there for a interesting story (promoted clickbait) and every time i end up on a Kardashian article with one of them 'flaunting' themselves on instagram, then I scroll down straight to the comments to make sure everyone is posting bitchy comments, and i'm never disappointed. Guardian is the same, but at least its written by propper journalists and columnists who went to school, its click bait for DM readers, the Guardian knows exactly how to trigger its readers, the comments section on CIF is 9/10 better than the article for amusing content. The columnist sets the bait, and the bait is always taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
