It's really very simple and has been explained to you many, many times
... so don't take it personally.
Many people are ethically opposed to the Daily Mail. I won't go in to the whys and wherefores here. Just trust me on that.
One of the ways that the Daily Mail makes its money is from advertising revenue and this revenue is often based on click-based statistics which show how many times their web pages are viewed.
As the following article says, there may well be a proportion of people who look at these stories from a liberal perspective, almost to become outraged. They may feel better in their outrage but they may also not be aware that they are lining the Mail's pockets.
Whether this is the case or not, there is certainly an issue for many people with the way that the Daily Mail is shared online, via social media etc.

So... to be clear once again: if you or anyone posts a link to the Daily Mail, I - and/or others - will highlight this so that wrathers who are ethically opposed to the Daily Mail but, in the moment, click without checking, are aware of what lies beneath the hyperlink.
But, as I said, please don't take it personally; it is a matter of ethical choice and awareness. Hope that clarifies the matter.
