My name is A. C. R. and I'm a Daily Mail addict. It's taken me a while to admit it but I'm finally at that point in my life where I can say that yes, I am addicted to reading the Daily Mail. It started gradually, first I would just open their website occasionally when I was bored of studying and I wanted to enter the intelligence free zone that is their 'femail' section. But then I graduated to their general 'news' section where I was riveted by horror stories of benefit cheats, Muslim pedophiles and immigrant invasions. I hid my addiction well and no one knew of my secret shame. That was until one of my friends asked to use my computer and he noticed that when he typed the letter 'd' into the url bar the www.dailymail.co.uk was the first website to appear! Oh the shame!
But seriously, I cannot stop reading this scum of the earth newspaper/website. Journalism is my dream career but even if the Daily Mail offered me my very own highly lucrative starring column a la Samantha Brick or that even worse excuse for a writer, Liz Jones, I would say thank you very much but no fucking way. Not that I will ever be in the position to reject a job offer from the Daily Mail but I can quietly dream. Why do I hate the Daily Mail you ask? I will tell you why.
They are a pathetic excuse for journalism. They only write sensationalist hate-filled garbage in order to grab attention and make money. Their writers are professional trolls being paid to rile up the sheltered middle classes and the ignorant masses into a flaming orgy of rage and indignity. They are hypocrites at best and inciters of hate at worst. They decry the sexualisation of young girls, yet regularly post images of underage celebrities along side titillating headlines including over-used phrases such as 'growing up fast' and 'all grown up' (just search for 'chloe moretz' or 'elle fanning' on their site to see what I mean). They are unashamedly racist and bigoted towards Muslims and Eastern Europeans and use the term immigrant as if it's a dirty word. Ever since they found out that Romanians and Bulgarians will be allowed to enter the UK without restrictions, they have been running regular columns about the impending migrant invasion that will surely flood our shores with thieving gypsies and swarthy benefit cheats. Here's a few recent choice headlines on that particular topic:
"Muslim sex offenders could opt out of treatment because it's against their faith" - This fits in with their usual theme of 'Muslims get special treatment according to the law' which goes against all common sense. If Muslims get such special treatment, then why are they the only ones beings stripped of their citizenship by Theresa May??
"Proportion of young Muslim men in youth jails rises by more than a quarter as one in five offenders say they follow faith" - i.e. Muslims are criminals!
"Threat of up to two million Muslim terrorists, warns community leader" - i.e. they're coming for you!
"Shame of Britain's Muslim schools: Secret filming shows pupils being beaten and 'taught Hindus drink cow p***'" - This one is probably true, but in light of all the other sucky anti-Muslimness that the Daily Mail pedals, it's sort of like rubbing salt in the wound.
"Tory MP Kris Hopkins claims 'gangs of Muslim men are going round and raping white kids'" - The Daily Mail absolutely loves the Muslim rape gangs story. This is like all their dream stories rolled into one. It involves sex, rape, pedophilia and evil Muslims so it's an absolute goldmine for them. These stories really do make me sick and there is no denying that there is an issue here, but I would like to note that rather than the Daily Mail (and general media) defining these gangs as 'British-Pakistani Rape Gangs' which would be a far more accurate description, they have instead decided to term them 'Muslim Rape Gangs'. Let's get real here, there are over a billion Muslims in the world today. A large proportion of Britain's Muslim population come from a massively diverse range of nations such as India, Malaysia, Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Bangladesh etc etc. But these 'rape gangs' are predominantly configured of men of Pakistani origin. So why did the Daily Mail decide to focus on their religion (which they are clearly not practicing even remotely correctly if they are having extra-marital sex, drinking alcohol and raping girls) rather than their much more specific country of origin? Hmm...
"How almost one in four people in the world are Muslim... and 1,647,000 live in Britain"- And what? Why is this news? How many Hindus are living in Britain? What about Scientologists? Eh? What are they trying to get at here? That we should be scared?
"One third of British Muslim students say it's acceptable to kill for Islam" - i.e. they're coming to kill you!
"All homosexuals should be stoned to death, says Muslim preacher of hate" - Ugh this guy again! They are talking about none other than Anjem Fucking Choudhary. Why is this guy constantly being quoted and interviewed? Imagine if every time they wanted the opinion of a white person, they were to interview the leader of the KKK. He's such a cliche. In fact, he is such a perfectly awful representation of a Muslim that I am convinced he was planted by MI5 in order to gain support for their anti-terrorist activities or some other evil scheme. Who knows!
"Guilty? It's a badge of honour say Muslim hate mob (and because we're on benefits, the state will pay our costs)" - This article is talking again about Anjem Choudhary's gang of pathetic antagonizers. It nicely combines the Daily Mail's two favourite scare tactics (people are stealing your benefits and Muslims).
"Muslim husbands with more than one wife to get extra benefits as ministers recognise polygamy" - see above!
"Mosque's plan to broadcast call to prayer from loudspeaker 'will create Muslim ghetto'" - Also see 'Muslim no-go areas'. This is the theory (and I use the term loosely) that there now exists these ghettos across Britain which are off-limits to good upstanding white British folk. I used to live in one of these so-called 'no-go areas' and I can assure you that I was never accosted for being white. I used to stroll past the local mosque on a regular basis and I never had a burqa thrust upon my head.
Oh Daily Mail, why all the hate? I would be here all day if I were to list all their favourite hate topics so let me just give you a quick overview. The Daily Mail hates all the following:
Single Mums
Fat Women
Black People
People Who Have Too Many Kids
Poor People
People Who Claim Disability Benefits But Can Really Walk Just Fine
Health and Safety Regulations
Public Workers
PC Gone Mad
The Labour Party
The Tories
The Lib Dems
Most Politicians These Days Except UKIP
People Who Sue Other People
Ugly Women
Wind Turbines
People Who Insult The Queen
Minorities in General
Women in General
But what really, really gets to me is that every time I visit this site and click on one of their god-awful articles I am paying them MONEY. I am inadvertently paying them to spew more hate. Must. Stop. Reading. Daily Mail!

Here's a few recent choice headlines on that particular topic:
"Romania says British ministers have agreed secret deal to ensure migrants receive benefits despite coalition claims of a crackdown"
"Romanians and Bulgarians snap up 175,000 jobs in the UK already... and that's before the borders have even opened"
"'They leave rubbish mountains taller than I am': Left-wing mayor of German town warns Bulgarian and Romanian immigrants have sent crime soaring (and they're heading for Britain)" - THIS IS THE WORST ONE! If you looked up the definition of 'fear mongering' in the dictionary it would read 'The Daily Mail'.
The Daily Mail hates immigrants in general but they reserve a particular kind of bigotry for Muslims. Here's a few fun headlines that I found after searching their site for the keyword 'Muslim':
"Proportion of young Muslim men in youth jails rises by more than a quarter as one in five offenders say they follow faith" - i.e. Muslims are criminals!
"Threat of up to two million Muslim terrorists, warns community leader" - i.e. they're coming for you!
