Missing verb in sentence after footnote 62: “ Rothemere argued that it unjust that…” 2001:1970:4E28:4200:0:0:0:1237 (talk) 20:33, 22 October 2022 (UTC)
Unnecessarily, on 2 April 2023, supported the designation "Right-wing" by adding a cite of uco.edu, tagging the edit as minor and adding edit summary = "Adding/improving reference(s)". I reverted with edit summary = "... don't see how the cited source directly supports the text". Unnecessarily, without going to the talk page, re-inserted with edit summary = "Academic source, more reliable than fringe journals. Adding/improving reference(s))". It's false that it's an "academic source", the cited uco.edu (University of Central Oklahoma) page has a label showing the chart is from Ad Fontes Media in 2022. And it's false that Ad Fontes says Daily Mail is right-wing, their 2023 edition does not have Daily Mail in its "skews right" etc. columns. Therefore I believe Unnecessarily's insertion should be removed again. Any other opinions? Peter Gulutzan (talk) 13:59, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

I think this might be worth a brief mention, if a good secondary source could be found. For those unfamiliar with Brian Bilston, the poem is as follows:
"How Much I Dislike the Daily Mail"
I would rather
eat Quavers that are six week’s stale,
blow dry the hair of Gareth Bale,
listen to the songs of Jimmy Nail,
than read one page of the Daily Mail.
If I were bored
in a waiting room in Perivale,
on a twelve hour trip on British rail
or a world circumnavigational sail,
I would not read the Daily Mail.
I would happily read
the complete works of Peter Mayle,
the autobiography of Dan Quayle,
selected scripts from Emmerdale,
but I couldn't ever read the Daily Mail.
Far better to
stand outside in a storm of hail,
be blown out to sea in a powerful gale
then swallowed by a humpback whale
than have to read the Daily Mail.
