I don't know much about UK politics, but Murdoch was pushing you right even before us.

I think about tabloids as "Propaganda that pays for itself". What better way to sow distrust in science than wild stories about nonsense? Repeat a lie enough times and people start to believe it.

Tabloids have comparatively high sales because they're pap aimed at the lowest common denominator. Young people don't read print papers, so the tabloids make a business of confirming the worst Boomer fears.
