These examples reflect its turn to report truthfully against their man who's now a loser, even by UK conservative media standards. Both the US and UK have very different conservatives, and I as a liberal, will go with Wikipedia's sources. And who said "Batshit crazy RW" anyway.

As a right-wing tabloid,[1][2][3] the Mail has traditionally been a supporter of the Conservatives and has endorsed this party in all recent general elections. While the paper retained its support for the Conservative Party at the 2015 general election, the paper urged conservatively inclined voters to support UKIP in the constituencies of Heywood and Middleton, Dudley North and Great Grimsby where UKIP was the main challenger to the Labour Party.[citation needed]

The paper is generally critical of the BBC, which it says is biased to the left.[87]
