Are You More Of A Daily Mail Or A Guardian Reader?

"Guardian Reader" is often used an an epithet for someone liberal minded, and "Daily Mail Reader" to describe someone who is overly conservative. However is there any truth in this?

Both the Daily Mail and The Guardian have one thing in common: they constantly poll their readers. Constant, endless polls. Polls polls polls polls. Polls about everything from Europe to how hairy a man's chest should be. Never let it be said that the Daily Mail do not like Polls.

Below, are mixed up 50 Guardian polls and 50 Daily Mail polls. Answer them honestly, and see which group of readers you agree with the most in this scientifically flawed experiment. :lol:

I believe they are a printed publication, issued daily or weekly, consisting of folded unstapled sheets and containing news, articles, advertisements, etc.

 

 

I just tend to find whatever newspaper (normally free) is only really good for budget masking or mopping up oil spills etc.

I'd hate to be considered a Guardian reader!!  Mind you I've stopped reading the Daily Mail as it kept making me angry!!

I dont read any of them because they're all just pumped up speculation and rubbish. Occasionally the evening standard if I'm bored witless on the tube with no phone signal 

 

Hey, maybe I'll get some free evening standards after that plug?

Had no idea what several of the questions referred to, but apparently I'm more of a Guardian reader.

And thank goodness for that!

"Guardian Reader" is often used an an epithet for someone who believes they are liberal minded but doesn't have the intelligence to think for themselves, and "Daily Mail Reader" to describe someone who is a UKIP voting bigot. However is there any truth in this?

 

 

 

Fixed it for you! (and yes, there is truth in it)

Isn't the Evening Standard free anyway? ;-)

I came out as more of a Guardian reader, but then again I did used to work for them (not as a journalist however). 

Reddit, and here, is where I get all my important news though!
