There is a trashy article in the Daily Mail about the Obamas.

Total lying bullshit that says the two's marriage is on the rocks and that Michelle has slimmed down so she can leave him when his presidency is over. This, of course, from a supposed reputable British rag - at least taken as much as gospel there as FOX News here. So, don't be surprised if that shit makes it into our MSM.

The media has done everything in its power to bring Obama down.

6. Already seeing people use this as proof, since it's a supposed 'real' newspaper and not tabloid.

8. Whoever told you the Daily Mail was "supposed reputable" was lying to you.

The Mail is a red-top tabloid - a byword in Britain for "trash".

Go look up the ontological oncology project, if you want a sample of its journalistic standards and a good laugh.

9. Does it really matter?

The state of their marriage is pretty irrelevant to the nation. It only matters for the folks who play imaginary dollhouse with the Obamas and obsess over pictures of their family with the dogs.

When I see crap like that, I KNOW it's bullshit. She doesn't look any different than she did the day her husband took office. These people are fucking pathetic.

Fuck up...err "Tabloid Journalists" said the same thing about the Clinton's and the Bushes. It's Standard Operating Procedure from Cocksucker Journalism. They are lower than slime.

It's ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS BEEN A RIGHT RING RAG.

furthermore, it's baloney that Fux is taken as gospel here.

Please read Frank Rich's piece on Fox.

16. "trashy" and "daily mail" is redundant.

The only things they excel at are taking quotes out of context, hiding quotes that don't fit their questionable agenda, using only those sources that support their agenda, obscuring sources that call into question their message, and generally "lying with facts."

If they weren't a "foreign source" for many in the US, they'd be classed with faux, the enquirer, msnbc, and other propaganda catapulting US sources.

People cite the Mail on DU regularly and I howl with derisive laughter when they do. Plus, dear OP, you need to look up FoxNews ratings and stop buying this crap that they are respected or watched. Because they are not.
