Quite.

Once upon a time, the Daily Torygraph was the mouthpiece of the
establishment Right, but was at least a vaguely respectable
newspaper. It seems to have been renamed the Daily Trollograph
and become the mouthpiece of the less intelligent wing of the
Little Englanders.

I am not at all surprised that Pete the Troll reads it - as all
you humans will know, that crude forgery didn't emanate from me.
