For those of you not in Britain/in the loop with current news, the Daily Mail recently ran a blatant smear article aimed at discrediting Ed Milliband, leader of the Labour Party - by attacking his dead father.
Honestly, this is just the latest in the Daily Mail's long history of toxic ultra-bias, going back as far as proclaiming "hurrah for the blackshirts" in support of the 1933 British Union of Fascists, up to declaring the London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony was "a load of leftie multicultural crap".
But honestly, this latest attack perhaps bugs me most because it is exactly the sort of attack that I would expect from Fox News, or some other American trash outlet - the facts are false, the bias is obvious and how anyone could be drawn into believing it is beyond me.
The Daily Mail is the newspaper embodiment of an angry old bigot.
