Matt Drudge and the Daily Mail

This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Matt Drudge and the Daily Mail

Mail goes surfing for millions of new readers
It may be a latecomer, but - by some measures at least - Associated's new website is making waves across the net, writes James Robinson

Sunday September 2, 2007
The Observer
Internet news pioneer Matt Drudge and the Daily Mail make an unlikely alliance. But the mercurial founder of influential US website the Drudge Report has played a pivotal, if unwitting, role in the overnight success of dailymail.co.uk, which last month shocked many on Fleet Street by taking second place in its first appearance in the ABCe online readership figures.
The Mail's 11.8 million unique users in July put it ahead of telegraph.co.uk and Times Online, but behind Guardian Unlimited - owned by The Observer's parent company, Guardian Media Group.

Mr Ed -- Drudge is a fairly neo-conish web reporter who's known for outing the Clinton/Lewinsky scandal
The Best Thing on His Site is Underneath -- He provides Lnks to a Huge collection of Legitimate News services -- You might not get the real news off Drudge -- But you can always find it through the links below the headlines -- he lists pretty much every major news feed

Mr.Ed, I fixed your linky 'cos Chips and FD couldn't be bothered and it's about time I did some actual TLR work (for the first time in about a year)

It's not an unlikely alliance - the Hate Mail is every bit as fascist as most of the neo-cons.

BTW, nobody posted in this thread because nobody cares about the Hate Mail.

but it's the voice of "Middle England" didn't you know?

I read that there Daily Torygraph meself (cunningly disguised as a copy of the Tawakalnistan Times, which isn't as good a read anymore since they stopped doing Crazy Mullah Bingo a while back.) If there's no Torygraph, I'll suffer the General Belgrauniad or the Indescribablyboring.

Ehhh, only ol' Belgrauniad can do it for me now. Torygraph is too right-wing, Indescribablyboring is too left-wing and the Times is too right-wing AND too Murdoch.

Well, The Eye is pretty good too.

you say "right-wing" and "Murdoch" as if they're different things

pah, this Daily Mail malarkey (also known as the Volkischer Beobachter) is having a pop at my favourite rag, the Torygraph! I lurv the Torygraph, it's one of the last bastions of "how we used to be back when everything was better than what it is now..." And there's absolutely nothing wrong with the interweb Torygraph, apart from the fact that i like real newspapers (so that's the Daily Mail out then - it's just a tabloid for pensioners.)
