It's just that the Mail seems to actively seek out stories that enable it to preach hate, and will write up those stories in the strongest, most emotive terms possible.
I have often criticised the Mail for that reason.

I agree with all you say, I do not purchase a regular newspaper myself but often pick one up at random in the workplace. Regarding your comment about the Express, I was surprised when I picked up the Express a while ago, my grandfather always had the Express delivered even though he was a Labour voter. This was probably to avoid being subjected entirely to political views from the left, now it seems to contain a lot less political right wing content.
I guess the chosen few here had me down as a Mail, Sun, Mirror or Daily Sport reader. To be honest I don't have the time to waste reading a daily newspaper.
