Oh, dear, Daily Mail

In an article with the headline, 'Male fans of BBC newsreader Jane Hill, brace yourself for disappointment' (though possibly originally titled like the filename, BBC-newsreader-Jane-Hill-comes-gay.html), the Daily Mail is classy on so many levels.

Brace yourself for disappointment? As if a Daily Mail reader ever had a chance anyway!

I know it's the silly season, but repeating snippets from an in-house magazine is a poor excuse for news, even if you can make mentioning a partner into an OUTING STORY.

The comments are typically Daily Mail, though there was this moment of sense: "Funny that when a heterosexual talks of their partner it's 'making conversation' yet when a gay person does the same it's considered 'ramming it down people's throats'."
