I dunno, something for shits and giggles.

In the case of measuring quality: Tabloid equals bad; anything else is good.
Newspaper Format Political alignment Readership Daily Express Tabloid Right 728,000 Daily Mail Tabloid Centre-right 2,200,000 Daily Mirror Tabloid Centre-left - Daily Star Tabloid Right 769,000 Daily Telegraph Broadsheet Centre-right 843,000 The Guardian Berliner Centre-left 336,000 The Independent Compact Centre-left 216,000 The Times Compact Centre-right 618,000 The Sun Tabloid Populist (currently centre-right) 7,900,000
From this we can deduce the following:

• There’s only one right/centre-right wing newspaper that isn’t a crap load of shit (the Telegraph);
• Right/centre-right papers tend to have less moderate, more extreme views;
• The best (and most expensive) papers - The Guardian and The Independent - are the ones that people don’t read;

This survey is not at all statistical or serious in the slightest. Enjoy!
