The Daily Mail is a British newspaper, currently published in a tabloid format. First published in 1896 by Lord Northcliffe, it is Britain's second biggest-selling daily newspaper after The Sun. Its sister paper, The Mail on Sunday was launched in 1982. An Irish version of the paper was launched on 6 February 2006. The Daily Mail was Britain's first daily newspaper aimed at what is now considered the middle-market and the first to sell 1 million copies a day

By the beginning of the Boer War in the late 1890s, circulation of the Daily Mail had risen to over one million, higher than any other newspaper in the western world. Harmsworth sent a team of journalists, including Edgar Wallace and George Warrington Steevens, to cover the events and battles between the British soldiers and the Dutch Afrikaners in South Africa. Dispatches from the first female war correspondent, Lady Sarah Wilson, the aunt of Winston Churchill, from the besieged town of Mafeking, brought to the reading public the plight of the British soldier when facing almost insurmountable odds. Yet the British government insisted that all dispatches from South Africa undergo censorship due to the harmful effect military losses might have on public support for the war. In short, Harmsworth was adamant that the truth of what was happening in the Boer War should not be hidden or repressed simply because it was unpleasant.

In recent times, like some other British newspapers (see, for example, Bruce Anderson's contributions to The Independent), the Daily Mail has taken to including some columnists with a very different political stance from the paper's own editorial line. Notable in the Mail's case is Roy Hattersley, a former Labour minister, who still takes a classic social-democratic line and nowadays attacks his own party very much from the left. Hattersley has written frequently for both the Mail and its political antithesis The Guardian, as has Geoffrey Wheatcroft.

The rampant jackassery of the UK tabloid the Daily Mail's "Femail" section is generally so ludicrous that it can't be taken seriously. Even so, there was an article today called "I'm A FEMALE Male Chauvinist - And Proud Of It" that's so hilariously sexist that we felt the need to call it out, along with the other, equally absurd/offensive stories in the section (by the way, this is the same paper that relished in pointing out Kim Cattrall's cellulite yesterday. For those of you who enjoy retribution, the Gallery of the Absurd subjects DM owner Paul Dacre to his own brand of physical scrutiny). Anyway, back to the Female Male Chauvinist, Angela Epstein, who thinks women are not equipped to handle situations where "power is absolute." more
