No history of asking for reviews

This company hasn't invited their customers, so reviews may not be representative

Third grade click bait posts

Third grade
I used to visit Birmingham Mail for local updates. Now it’s full of misleading headlines and articles that barely say anything. The site is overloaded with ads, pop-ups, and pointless filler.

Birmingham deserves real journalism. This isn’t it.

Dreadful awful amateur app

Dreadful awful constantly getting ‘Page not available’ adverts covering pages, I used to buy the newspaper but they hiked the price to over £2.00, so now I’m using neither

Click bait garbage written by halfwits

Click bait garbage written by half wit journalists with zero journalistic effort. Most stories are bullsh1t and sensationalist. Use some crappy weather app that is so inaccurate to give weather reports it’s a joke. Surprised these clowns haven’t reported snow and exact time it will fall for June yet! Crappy tabloids like this should be burned and never given any space on any search platform. Full of ads and no news stories.

Clickbait authortarian rubbish

Clickbait authortarian rubbish, constantly running articles that are anti motorist. Much of their content is trauma based news with very little to none positive articles, shameful.

What a dreadful rag

What an awful source! All they seem to publish are reports of which counties are going to be hit, either by snow or by a heatwave, none of which ever transpire.
There is also no apparent way to unsubscribe from this dreadful drivel. The publishers should find a big, flat stone to hide their shame under. Is this the worst rag in the UK? Quite possibly!

I've finally had to block this rag…

I've finally had to block this 'newspaper' (very loose description!) on my phone.
There's lots of actual news happening in Birmingham (the bin strike for example) but what stories does this rag push to me? Well, today there was an headline stating that '22 counties in England were going to miss the heatwave'. 22 counties is pretty much all of them, so - no heatwave? Ridiculous.
It was different from the usual articles threatening fines and loss of licence for highly unlikely and trivial motoring offences', which are equally ridiculous.
The owners of this rag appear to know what they are posting is pointless click-bait, as they disable comments on these posts.
So, to the owners of this rag - if you are doing this to try and get more people to view your site - you are failing. Perhaps there are interesting and informative articles on your site - even actual news! - but I won't be seeing it, because I've blocked your feed.

Birmingham mail is biased and…

Birmingham mail is biased and protective towards Birmingham Council, this is 100% factual, they have no concerns highlighting concerns in areas that fall under there own council or associations, but any stories being linked directly to the Birmingham Council run area or the council themselves would have to be so extreme that they have no choice but to report on them because it can't be hidden or brushed under the proverbial rug or just that rubbish and stupid that it's near enough nothing .The reporters you contact with proof of stories are Lying, ignorant people who just wantv to report where you can get a nice sandwich from and there just like the people they don't report on because they are under directives from I wonder where.. And if you have there app I do not know wether it's just me but I click on any of there contact emails and it just takes back to the app or states and url issue.

One more thing has anyone ever had a reply on here or been contacted In other ways about our reviews by these morons?

Fake news false information

am writing to formally express my deep concern and dissatisfaction with the content published by your company and also your publisher Catherine Lillington. It has come to my attention that many of the stories featured on your platform are exaggerated, misleading, and, in some cases, entirely fabricated. This not only undermines the credibility of your organization but also causes significant harm to individuals who are wrongfully portrayed in these articles.

Of particular concern is an article that has painted an innocent individual in a sinister light, despite clear evidence proving their innocence. It is deeply troubling that your platform has chosen to ignore this evidence and has refused to take down the article, even after the facts have been brought to your attention. By allowing this article to remain published, your company is perpetuating false narratives and causing irreparable damage to the reputation and well-being of the individual involved.

This kind of irresponsible journalism is unacceptable. It is your duty as a media organization to ensure that the information you publish is accurate, fair, and verified. Failing to do so not only violates ethical standards but also erodes public trust in your platform.

1. Immediately remove the article in question and any other content that has been proven false or misleading.
2. Issue a public apology to the individuals who have been wrongfully portrayed.
3. Implement stricter editorial guidelines to prevent the publication of exaggerated or fabricated stories in the future.
