From today all national newspapers will have to put a warning up when they claim that their newspaper is the best, and not be able to print it willy nilly, as before.

This, follows controversies in which national newspapers blatantly claimed to be the best newspaper but when somebody read it it was discovered that they were not.

The new regulations cover the newspaper itself and any website associated with the title.

A case in point is the Dully Mirror's website which claims to be the best newspaper on the web, which is bollocks, according to most editors we spoke to this morning, and the number of readers is plummeting (source: Alexa.com) following a redesign at the disaster prone company.

Newspapers who wish to trick readers into believing they are the best newspaper will have to prove it by getting some kind of independent verification, and not just print words.

A spokesman for a national newspaper told our reporter: "Readers like to think that they are reading the best newspaper, even when they are not. It's all harmless fun, and only costs them the price of a newspaper every day. It's a bargain!"
