FYI The Daily Mail (or "Daily Hate" as it is known to some of us) is a hysterical, right-wing, immigrant-hating, claimant-demonising, poisonous rag.
In the interest of balance: it does have a great crossword.

(Not necessarily meant to call out everyone who's posted on here, as I don't know if everyone here is like that, but I'm definitely getting the vibe from a few people, and it does often seem to be that way. I just don't understand it.)

You know how often I hear them get together and talk about it? Not very. For what it's worth, I hear CNN mentioned as much or more than Fox. Although most people I know discuss local news more than national news.
The obsession with Fox News is pretty one-sided, and it isn't from the people who you'd think would like it.
