I reckon Metro pisses on most general media rags, if not all of them.
The thing that caps it for me is that it is free!
Also prevent boredom while on the 20 minute bus ride to work.

But...
...The Metro's produced by the same media group responsible for the Daily Mail. Which is why each Metro is often reheated leftovers of yesterday's Mail.
That and fluff pieces based on circular e-mails from the turn of the century.

The lack of shock storyage can be put down to two things:
*Metro is predominantly read by students and young people (ie: under 30s), less interested in the ANYTHING INVENTED AFTER 1901 WILL KILL YOU TO DEATH attitude of The Hate
*Hate has been scientifically proven to be exclusively readable by the over 70s, sort of like that high-pitched "Mosquito" thing they used to put outside shops to keep the under-15s away but in reverse.
