TWENTY thousand spoof copies of the Daily Mail were handed out to unsuspecting commuters this morning as campaigners challenged corporate power over Britain’s press.

Headlines such as “billionaires control our ‘democracy’” and “funding both sides of the war on terror: everyone loses except UK arms companies” were splashed across the front page of the mock newspapers.

The Daily Mail with a difference was distributed across London and Manchester as part of the Real Media campaign, to make people think about who controls the news agenda.
