You are sadly continuing the perjorative drift with no beef. It's almost a cliche to say a few rude words about it, isn't it? I wouldn't argue with that view if it concerned the Sun or the News of the World (R.I.P - no, I'm joking) though again, a critique minus the purple prose would be welcome.
Over the Anglosphere seventy million people read the Daily Mail. It's a highly successful enterprise. I agree that that does not mean it cannot be 'ridiculous' or 'dubious' but it does suggest that a smidgeon of supporting evidence for your view should be forthcoming. I read it most days and find it amusing and interesting in its reporting on topics not covered in the British broadsheets. Personally I enjoy a spot of reasonably-sourced gossip. I also enjoy looking at pictures of nice girls on beaches. Probably I'm a lost soul.
And so, how would you improve it? Please don't construe my comment as suggesting that that should not take place.
It is malicious IMO in the sense of inciting things like xenophobia or homophobia and having a negative effect on society, but it's not in the sane league as interfering with police investigations.
The Daily Mail is, in it's own passive aggressive way, as malicious as the redtops, and I personally wouldn't be surprised if it is also implicated in the phone hacking scandal - there's been a very strong implication that all the tabloids are 'dirty'.
But an example of just how vile the Daily Mail is can be seen here:
As can be seen from the URL (but subsequently excised from the headline and the story itself), the Daily Mail blamed the death of this schoolgirl, killed by a falling branch, on teachers who were striking on that day.
