Acid In The Punch Bowl Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 It's in The Mash it must be true. THE Guardian website has a larger readership of argumentative right-wing arseholes than middle-class bedwetters, it has emerged. The newspaper’s site now has an audience that is 81 per cent tedious right-wingers who flock there to sneer at ‘the left’ and make unfunny comments about hairy women. http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/media/guardian-site-read-mostly-by-right-wing-trolls-20160802111720 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spunko2010 Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 I thought the Guardian didn't have any readers, which is why it's in massive debt despite being tax avoiders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Toast Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The Guardian seems to have more readers than expected. Shops often run out of them whilst still having lots of the alternatives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shops often run out of them whilst still having lots of the alternatives. or maybe they've got wise and don't order many in the first place?

Renewed Investor Posted August 2, 2016 Share Posted August 2, 2016 The Guardian seems to have more readers than expected. Shops often run out of them whilst still having lots of the alternatives. Back when I was in University the Uni would order a bunch of copies along with the Metro and lay them out on tables for people to take for free. I imagine its the same in a lot of places. Rarely did I see many people reading them though, most ended up in the recycling bins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Hovis Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 The Guardian seems to have more readers than expected. Shops often run out of them whilst still having lots of the alternatives. That huge popularity must be why they lost over £100m last year and will have burnt through the Scott Trust money in a decade and then disappear.

spunko2010 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 Are they still begging for 40 quid from their loyal readers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spunko2010 Posted August 3, 2016 Share Posted August 3, 2016 It's quite something that the Daily Mail outsells the Guardian by 10 to 1. I'm not virtue signalling; I'd rather read the former. Just goes to show where most people's thoughts lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rahhhh Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 178000 guardians sold / approx 30,000 newsagents = 6 copies per newsagent (not including those going to bbc, unis, direct to readers etc). This is why it is often sold out and a massive headache for their distribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why it is often sold out and a massive headache for their distribution. It may have changed but it used to be that the Guardian was the only major paper that didn't operate on a sale or return basis which was why shops kept their stocks of it small. Any unsold ones cost them whereas for any other unsold papers they weren't out of pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrPin Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 The Guardian used to be a good newspaper, but like many others reports opinions, and lifestyle articles as "news". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
