I found a great one on a splog that no longer appears in the original post about PayPerPost. I would actually look on the Daily Mail as a "quality" tabloid if there can be such a thing. There are many worse examples in the UK. I have no objection to controversy, but blogs have an advantage over printed news, because differeing opinions can be found by following trackbacks... if present. It reduces the need to represent every opinion in updates. I had to go searching for a previous quote because I think Mike in the comment he left thought I was misrepresenting him a little.
