Is the Daily Mail a right wing rag or just a rag? This photo via AP of Obama... WTF?

The end of the great American gas guzzler

3. When I first visited Britain I went to a news sellers.
I asked the clerk what was a good paper to read. She started tolling them off. Her exact words when she pointed to the Daily Mail were "Right wing rag". I took away The Guardian.

8. Just about everything!
Imagine a newspaper equivalent of Rush Limbaugh's talk-show, and you'll get the idea.

See this link to a public-service post on the subject by Mr. Blur and some of us fellow UK DU-ers:
