The thing about the Daily Mail that I can't stand is not so much the politics or opinion (I can always see through that whether its the Mail or the Mirror I'm reading), its the sneering that the paper does; the way it always seems to knock or wreck peoples image or life. Most weekends have 2 or 3 stories about someone well known, well loved or successful (and usually dead) and how secretly they were a fake/unhappy/broke/drunk/lonely etc. Its as if they take the line "You liked this person? Well read this and you'll see they weren't special at all".

true I suppose. It could be seen as muck-raking
