But the DT has a high readership and IIRC, the Guardian and Independent have
rather low readerships which would suggest that people don't find the
packaging of their facts very palatable.

Few people choose their newspaper because of its perceived accuracy.
Facts are only a part of the package which also includes much opinion,
'colour', feature writing, sports coverage, titilation, humour, etc. My
father was an almost lifelong reader of the Observer, only because he
liked the crossword and the chess puzzles.

Bringing this back on topic, some people choose the Telegraph because
it has the best gardening section.
