Depends what "right" is. They can certainly sell a lot of papers, no doubt. But do they help make create an informed electorate? Which is the most important function of a free press. The biggest problem I have with the Mail is not whether it is biased or even that it makes mistakes. My problem is more that they will often print a headline and first paragraph or a story that makes some claim that is often refuted in the article itself. I feel that this is intended to deliberately mislead those with lower critical thinking abilities. It's amazing the number of times I've had to correct people on stuff like the legal status of Sharia courts. Of course I can't blame the mail for all of this stuff, there are plenty of other papers and blogs doing the same thing but the mail seems to be the flagship for this sort of journalism.
