Dacre's Mail on the Run

[T_i_B]

1. Whilst the general election result was a kick in the teeth for the tabloids...

...with online sources such as The Canary making more of the running and the Tory election campaign they were in hock to backfiring, I would wait until they take a severe nosedive in circulation before writing the tabloids off as a political force.

Lots of people are condemning the Daily Fail's hypocrisy and blatant lying today, but will their readership actually notice?

I say that as somebody who hasn't brought a newspaper in a long long while, and only broke the habit of not reading a newspaper on the Saturday after the election, with family, for schadenfreude purposes. The tabloids may not deserve a penny of support, but how long will they hang onto their aging readership for?
