'If we soften up, our readers will go'

  I'm a big fan of elReg and write for it from time to time. http://www.theregister.co.uk/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/ The BBC describes it as an IT "Private Eye" but I doubt that that helps many outside the UK. (Private Eye is a satirical mag that doesn't pull its punches either.)

    When it started, it was like Private Eye, it’s now loser to a Daily Mail/Sun hybrid. There are nuggets of good reporting, but mainly clickbait ‘churnalism’. Even seen an editor calling a commenter “thick as shit” recently!

      It's always been thoroughly tongue-in-cheek and has for a long time referred to users of its comments section as "commentards" for example. Please never ever confuse elReg with the Daily Fail: elReg cares about facts and consistency and even truth.
