The Guardian and the Inde, on the other hand, are very good at adopting a tone of snide moral superiority even in items that are, ostensibly, straight reporting and not editorial comment.

I have to totally disagree, daily mail articles seem to be very closed minded and aggresive. And moral outrage entirely depends on the morality or the person in question.
Plus the editor was on desert island discs - he was a jerk.
