Pondgirl I will have to take your word that the Daily Mail is "an odious rag that objectifies women on a daily basis and continually publishes articles that are designed to anger people "  as those are serious opinions and I would not approach reading the DM with a serious attitude nor would I read it on a "daily basis"  However it strikes me you appear to have such an emphatic and comprehensive understanding about the nature of the DM. it is reasonable to assume that you get information from /read the DM . How would you be so well informed otherwise? . According to EDs post "the prejudice (those that use the Daily Mail as a source of information!)", this would define you as "prejudice"  Would you agree of disagree with him ?  :)

How you 'approach' the DM doesn't change what it is or what it does.  It just means that you don't notice.

I do look at the DM, not on a daily basis , usually because someone from one or another another forum I belong to has posted a link to a story.  Whenever you click on these items the sidebar is always full of stories about what women look like, whether or not they are wearing make up, clothes they approve of or if they are too fat or too skinny.

I would be prejudiced if I just said that all DM readers are....whatever, just because they read it/look at the pictures.  My 'problem' (can't think what else to call it) is with those that don't bother to read any other sources or, ahem, check their sources for veracity or extreme bias.

I suppose that might make me prejudiced but that would be stretching the meaning to include everyone who expresses a negative opinion about any given group of people.

But you can call me that if you want, I don't mind  ;)
