My friend Ben recently posted a link to me about an article written in the daily Mail. Now being a liberal left Guardian reader I tend to take a cautious approach about the truth behind the stories of this crappy excuse for a newspaper. This article that he highlighted for me enshrined the fact that this paper is utter shite, 'How using Facebook could raise the risk of Cancer'!!!
The article argues that by spending hours a day in front of the computer on social networking sites can alter your genes which can make you more susceptible to illnesses such as cancer and heart conditions. What are they going to publish next, that wanking too much will actually make you go blind!
What annoyed me most about this article is that it only briefly mentions the link to cancer once. It was a classic Mail headline, there to grap your attention and get you to read there drivel on what they actually believe is a worthy piece for news journalism. The article is in fact mainly about how there is less face to face social interaction in the current day due to social network sites.
I have more respect for papers such as The Sun and Mirror, at least they don’t pretend to be truthful upstanding newspapers delivering quality reports. I think Ben summed up the paper nicely:
‘[i’m] starting to think that the daily mail is aware of what they write and is written by a really subversive comedy genius satirizing the people who believe what they write...or their mental cunts!’
I believe the latter.
