The Daily Mail is one of the most successful of the quality tabloid newspapers - hence it attracts lots of criticism because us Brits just cannot resist carping about people, services, goods, sport or whatever happens to become a raving success.
I buy the Daily Mail every day for 4 reasons - the Articles by Littlejohn, the daily political news by Quentin Letts, the puzzles pages, and most important of all, the magnificent example set to us all by Garfield. These alone are well worth the 55 pence per day the paper costs. I do read the other stuff like the news and sports reports - but they are incidental.
The other thing about the Daily Mail is that it constantly presents vital medical and health information to keep you updated with the latest scientific discoveries. This week we learn that a daily glass of red wine and a weekly juicy steak is good for you and that the information they published the previous week that it was bad for you was no longer correct. It is the same with their regular diets which so enthral the ladies in our lives - the advice varies wildly from month to month but it is always the latest and greatest must do diet.
It is also generally recognised that their horoscope page is second to none and you would be an idiot to set forth for the day without first reading what might befall you.
Those who cricicise such a worthy publication do the country, the news industry, the general public, their family and friends, a serious injustice and should be sentenced to 6 months having to read the Sun or Star newpapers cover to cover. If that doesn't cure them - 3 months reading the Guardian should be prescribed.
