In which I lose my faith in the human race

We are reliably informed that:

The Daily Mail, an omniverous middle-market British tabloid, has quietly unseated the New York Times to become the newspaper with the biggest online reach in the world, according to figures from the online tracking service comScore.

The figures show Mail Online reached 45.3 million people last December, to the Times's 44.8 million. Trailing them are USA Today at , the Tribune newspapers , and the Guardian. The growth, the editor and publisher of the Mail's online properties, Martin Clarke, said, has been driven by U.S. traffic.

You should all be ashamed of yourselves, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/ is an avalanche of inanity and cruelty pouring relentlessly into a witless design.

AWBI's previous verdict:

I sometimes read the Daily Mail over a sandwich in Virgin Active at lunchtime, so I know it well as a gastric band for the brain

is upheld.
