Spec me a...... newspaper

Times and The Independent are the best of a bad bunch. My gripes with these two are that The Independent's cover stories frequently seem to concern climate change, and The Times has quite a London/South East bias, and treats the 'North' as a far off land. I suppose this is just a reflection of where much of the readership is found, but not everyone north of Watford is a Daily Star reader.

I've never been a newspaper reader so can someone tell me why The Daily Mail gets so much stick?
My main gripe with it is the way it presents rumour and speculation as cast-iron fact. You could also lambast it for scaremongering and scapegoating. It's not necessarily the only paper that does this - most of the redtops do as well, but for some reason because it's the Mail quite a lot of people seem to trust it, despite the fact that it's been wrong time and again.

Becuase it tells its gullible readership what to think about the news rather than reporting on the news.

But, but, but......it's a Weegie paper. What about yon Edinburgh Evening News?
Actually in fairness it isn't too bad, particularly on a Sunday but I would read the Evening News in preference on a weekday.
