From the 'world's greatest newspaper': a front page about tea

When it could be reporting on the Fort Hood shootings or a speech by the Prime Minister on Afghanistan or any other really important news story, the - ahem - 'vastly improved standards of writing' at the Express are put to use with a front page about tea being good for you:

Plus - a lot of cut-price junk.

It's almost beyond parody now.

    Words actually escape me. I'm trying to picture them as they make the decision to go with the story about tea instead of, you know, ANYthing else.

    The tone of the title of your post makes me laugh heartily.

    And is that DVD Player actually "worth £90" ? I very much doubt it. Is the Express bending the truth again?
