You are sadly continuing the perjorative drift with no beef. It's almost a cliche to say a few rude words about it, isn't it? I wouldn't argue with that view if it concerned the Sun or the News of the World (R.I.P - no, I'm joking) though again, a critique minus the purple prose would be welcome.

Over the Anglosphere seventy million people read the Daily Mail. It's a highly successful enterprise. I agree that that does not mean it cannot be 'ridiculous' or 'dubious' but it does suggest that a smidgeon of supporting evidence for your view should be forthcoming. I read it most days and find it amusing and interesting in its reporting on topics not covered in the British broadsheets. Personally I enjoy a spot of reasonably-sourced gossip. I also enjoy looking at pictures of nice girls on beaches. Probably I'm a lost soul.

And so, how would you improve it? Please don't construe my comment as suggesting that that should not take place.

Then there's the whole MMR thing, and the rest: http://www.badscience.net/category/media/papers-mail/
