Since you ask,yes it was.
I am 85,and have seen the Daily Mail descend from a "decent" paper that reported REAL news,into the rag it is today.
So my comments (as an ex DM reader) were made more from sorrow than anger.
It's not the worst offender,just one of the worst.
Couldn't agree more with Mr Veritas, which means 'truth', the DM wouldn't know truth if it fell over it. I would rather not read anything if it was only the DM or the Sun on offer!
