The Daily Mail is a mid market newspaper with a huge circulation. It is known as the 'housewives' newspaper - the wives of politicians, chief executives etc are said to read it, and it is very influential in opinion forming. It is not necessarily nice - it can be misogynistic, racist, etc etc - but when it wages campaigns it can be powerful. If this article appeared on the front page it is GOOD. But I have tried posting comments before on the Mail website about mercury fillings have affected me, and they did not get published - too uncomfortable for people's mindset I suppose.
