Sadly, in the US, the National Enquirer has broke actual news in the past.

I get the feeling for all the tabloid stuff, someone on the Daily Mail's staff just loves to find all the weird scientific studies and news that can be turned into bat-boy-style headlines. With the main difference being that the Daily Mail doesn't make up the original discovery but might be a bit hype-driven. I do wish they would provide a bit better links to the story.

The other sad thing, and it is truly sad, is that they sometimes actually are more factual about stories in the US great plains then the US east coast papers[1].

1) the NY Times in particular seems to be incapable of choosing the correct state for North / South Dakota Senators.
