Hey, wait a second, weren't you arguing that the daily mail was in fact a fine newspaper and we were all just snobs a while back?

Nope - NEVER said either, thank you very much! Please once again, don't put words in my mouth.

I mentioned that some of those there are ok as reporters (having spoken to them and done a bit for the paper myself) but given the nature of tabloid industry, the stuff that management wants is often not what the public would actual like more of, believe it or not.
There are indeed also idiots that write daft garbage like the Kick-ass article. Their paper career will only go as far as the heights of the tabloids and no further.

The Mail, Sun, Mirror, Star etc by their nature tends to shorten, skip whole facts, make too quick assumptions and tend to pander to those that have only ten minutes at times to catch a quick read.
While nothing wrong in that in itself if you want a quick read - and tabloids do actually produce some good stuff occasionally when the editors allow it, some of the articles also tend to be directed towards the brain dead who want their minds made up for them.

I think the Kick-ass write-up is that type of material.
