So they had a Flynn story they wanted to run high up, and a.. I dunno, photo expose thing they also wanted to run, and their editorial decision was the photo expose. Every other news site I checked, including BBC and Al-Jazeera, didn't seem to find revealing photos of the royal bride-to-be to be as important. | |

| Dec 1, 2017 at 23:03 | comment | added | Todd Wilcox | Just looked at The Daily Mail web site for the first time. It's blatantly sexist There is a sidebar called "Femail" and it's not about the accomplishments of important women, it's about bikinis and cleavage. The top story today is not the dramatic political fallout of Michael Flynn's guilty plea, it's supposedly scandalous or racy photos of Meghan Markle. And the "where does it end?" argument has always been and always will be specious. -1 | |
| Dec 1, 2017 at 14:53 | comment | added | Dustybin80 | -1, for the assumption that the OP objects to the Daily Mail purely on the grounds of its politics (as opposed to its racism, homophobia and general intolerance) and spending very little time answering his question. The OP used to get different papers in his office and now he gets the Daily Mail. How is him asking for the old papers back any more unreasonable than someone changing them? The OP doesn't state if his paper of choice was stopped but if that is the case there is no harm in him trying to reverse that decision in a reasonable manner. | |
| Dec 1, 2017 at 11:43 | comment | added | DrMcCleod | Good answer, I would add that the basis for living in a liberal democracy is the concept of 'tolerance'. This does not mean liking or supporting things that other people do, it means allowing them to behave and think how they like as long as they are within the law. The notion that we must all have the same opinions and beliefs is the origin of totalitarianism and must be countered whenever we see it. | |
