Did you know the two highest-selling newspapers in the UK are the Sun and the Daily Mail?
And by such a large margin that their sales virtually match every other paper put together?
Does this fill anyone else with a kind of queasy horror?

I’m not at all surprised to be honest.
You can’t beat the front page of The Sun last week after Colin ‘pronounce your name properly you evil cunt’ Powell’s address. A picture of Saddam and a picture of Osama with the headline:
MONSTERS, INC.

I saw that. Very very apt.. raised a smile on my part. Although i’m with air on the queesy horror thing (daily mail’s hang ‘em, shoot ‘em, throw them in jail or sun’s just…plain…bollocks, hypocrisy, and scare mongering.. tough choice) it does have the monopoly on good (in a very bad way) straplines. I’ll never forget the one when fred west was found dead in his cell on new years day…
‘HAPPY NOOSE YEAR’ – class.

I’m sorry, I’ll have to accept your first answer.
I guess a hypocracy would be some kind of government, an inferior one maybe.
