    Guessing just leads to misunderstanding and prejudice, why not just say what you mean?

    He means The Daily Mail publish a lot of stories in which the editorial slant is strongly biased against certain groups, specifically ethnic minorities and homosexuals. I would also argue it is a paper that hates women- especially "career women" and single mothers (recent front page story in which Emma Thompson states that women can't have it all). Their reporting of health issues is woeful at best and downright dangerous at worst (literally EVERYTHING gives you cancer).

    A couple of Richard Littlejohn colums should suffice as a starting point if this really is news to you.
