My personal view on this is that it feels like a race which is nearing its end. I'm conscious of a feeling that the reactionary frothing nonsense of the Daily Mail et al is spreading among the susceptible and becoming ever more desperate and blustering. On the other hand I feel that the guff spouted by the DM is coming under increasing scrutiny and being exposed to a wider audience for the falsehoods it creates. The Daily Mail's circulation is only just increasing (+0.17% 08-09 - the only other increase is the Star) but tabloid media is on its way out. I'm hoping that eventually the Mail will get found out - this is why it doesn't like Twitter, because Twitter is immediate, intense scrutiny, not from knuckle-draggers but from balanced, reasonable people.
Keep up the good work!
