All papers report basically the same drivel, the Mail included. I'm a DM reader, used to be a Mirror and /or Sun reader, the main reason for reading the DM is the fact that the ink from the print in it doesn't transfer to your fingers as readily as the other two. But I do like the style of the reporting in the paper too.
As for 'scaremongering' on the health issues, isn't it nice to know about a potential health risk, and make choices, rather than not? I read or skip through most of the paper, take note of the parts I want to and ignore the rest. Having read the other rags, they highlight on different articles, be it celebrity, sport, etc. But it's all about choice. It did used to wind me up, listening to people run the DM and its readers into the ground, comedians especially, but if their material relies upon what a certain paper reports, or the type of person who reads them, then that is their prerogative. Doesn't mean I have to like it, but I don't have to listen to it either. I have a choice, as does everyone else. If one paper reports an article in detail, guaranteed it will be in another paper within the week.
