Whats your newspaper preference?

[Dawn_Run]

Just something that crossed my mind. Maybe its been asked before but - Do many people on here get newspapers on a regular basis? If so, which one do you rate highest? Do you have a different preference depending on the day?

For me on the most part it would be the Indo. Cant go wrong with it imo. Although I like the Star's junior soccer coverage. On a Saturday I might edge ever so slightly towards the star and on Sunday's its back to the Sunday Indo.

Rarely buy a paper, especially during the summer when there's other things to be doing. Winter I get the Turbine.

Brought The Village for the first time last week, and have to say I'll be getting it again. Alot of Vincent Browne's personal opinion, but at least he's not afraid to put it up to anyone. Look at the coverage that kid's death in custody has got since he published - too many of the other papers in the pockets of the police and politicians...

Also started buying the pheonix again, and actually tempted to get a subscription to make sure I get hold of a copy.

Normally get the Longford Leader too, if I think of it pre-lunch on a Friday (all gone by 2)

hate the sunday indo full of pr1cks like brendan o connor and dion fanning
, o connor comes across as the smuggest man alive when writing his articles . he had one laying into the mc cauls after eurovision which was highly unfair and they were an easy target. also they seem to have an agenda with eamonn dunphy where all their journos are encouraged to have sly digs at him at every opportunity. all very middle class and self satisfied. eammonn sweeney is a good writer for them though even though he wasnt exactly pro gah in "theres only one red army" and now is writing about gah.

Monday to Saturday it's the Indo,Sunday it's the Sunday Times.Would also buy the Star on the odd weekday during the football season

My preference is The Star but its very dear compared to the other tabloids.

[drinkfeckarse]

Normally buy the Star simply because it's the best of a bad bunch IMO. Have never bought the Sun since their shocking Hillsboro claims.

The Daily Record over here is so bad it's funny. Constant innacurate information and plenty of pictures with the wrong name next to it.

[tetsujin1979]

Read the indo online most days
Rarely pick up a tabloid, not the Sun because of the Hillsboro, and I can't see myself buying the Star after they ripped the pics off thepeoplesflag.com

[Aberdonian Stu]

I remember that so well, they ran a special over two days called "The Lorenzo Amoruso story" which came with a comical poster of Amoruso in a kilt suit. Most the Rangers fans I lived with slagged it more than the rest of us because it was more biased in their favour than Archie McPherson. I think the Mirror group own it.

We get the Indo & IT daily at work so usually have glance though them.

Sometimes buy IT on saturday.

Buy sunday paper every 2-3 weeks. Rotated between Tribune, Observer & Sunday Times.

I don't like the Indo & would never ever buy the Sindo.

[pineapple stu]

We get the Irish Times at home and in work, though I actually prefer to get the Examiner since it included its Rest of Ireland supplement...

[the 12 th man]

sunday times,
midweek anything really........ indo.herald ,examiner

sunday worst is the poorest irish sunday paper imho

[superfrank]

I never buy papers myself, just magazines like Zoo.

However, I do read papers. I never read NOTW because of their anti-Chelsea propaganda, even in the Irish version. My mother buys the Irish Times every Saturday and I usually take the Sports Section and feck off for the weekend.

[Cosmo]

Used always get the star.

Mondays and fridays i get the mirror solely for the EL coverage.

Get the star on saturdays and sundays - again for the EL coverage.

Tuesday - Thursday i dont bother

[Peadar]

Irish Examiner, when I can get a copy.
Sunday Business Post, on Sundays, obviously.

The Sun over here almost always has the eL results, which is handy if you're stuck. A quick read in the shop will do, you don't need to buy it.

[Dawn_Run]

Yeh - the examiner is another i forgot to mention. Quite like their sports coverage.

Does anyone remember the Sunday Pink? I havent seen it in years - is it still on the go?

Used to get it off a guy outside mass every sunday.

[dahamsta]

Rarely buy, but if I do it's the Irish Times or the Examiner, depending on my mood. I've been known to buy the Guardian when I'm feeling particularly liberal.

Yeh - the examiner is another i forgot to mention. Quite like their sports coverage.

Aye - their eL coverage is by far the best of any broadsheet, and arguably better than the tabloids too.

[OwlsFan]

The Daily Telegraph (for sport rather than the politics I hasten to add) and the Sunday Independent (although Fanning is on my pet aversions list).

[Babysis]

For work i have to buy the tabliods, in particular the star, the sun, the mirror. Also the Evening Standard.

[Anto McC]

I buy the Sun everyday for a read in work.I read the star when i go home
