Moral objections to supporting a chauvinistic rag that incites hatred
against the vulnerable. Since you asked.

Sadly, I think that could apply to almost any newspaper, depending on how
you read it and your stance before you read it. ;-(

That is regrettably true. Many local papers are rather better, but
the only nationals that are relatively free from inciting hatred
are the Independent, the Guardian and possibly the Scotsman. All
others have regular, directed campaigns where they incite hatred
against one or more vulnerable groups. The Independent (which we
take) has some such articles, but has little coherent policy and
rarely mounts campaigns. I can't stand the Guardian, on other grounds.

We take The Times and the Daily Mail and read both with the salt cellar
close at hand! I find the Guardian too smug and self-righteous, haven't
read the Scotsman, though have heard good things of it. I have never been
able to take the Independent seriously since its inception when it declared
that its ambition was never to have a story about any member of the royal
family on its front page - if that story is to be believed in itself!
We also take the Western Morning News and it's very conservative to suit the
area it covers, I suppose. But I think it does give fair play to all in
terms of what it writes about, the letters page etc.

One could also include the Morning Star, on the grounds that the
targets of its hate campaigns are not vulnerable :-)

Or maybe the Sunday Sport? CAN double deckers on Mars be vulnerable? ;-0
