> Now what we read is that the virus was man made and the WIV was doing secret military work for the PLA, with the idea being to create a virus and vaccine simultaneously so the attacker controls who survives i.e. a bioweapon. That's the same as what the BBC called a false claim and conspiracy theory.

In a tabloid, recycling claims that have already quite questionable without any additional evidence (ie. the Mojiang mine stuff is not nearly as cut-and-dry as this article makes it out to be).

The Sunday Times isn't a tabloid!

I did not realize The Times (a tabloid) and The Sunday Times (broadsheet, but still...)

The Times isn't a tabloid either, jesus christ. Have you ever actually lived in the UK? It feels like you're just making things up to try and muddy the waters here, in the hope of making all this stuff go away.

To assist: The Times was founded in the 1700s and was the first newspaper in the world to use that name, a name that has been copied many times due to its reputation. In 2004 they switched to a compact paper form of the size used by tabloid papers, but that didn't affect the content or style and didn't make it a "tabloid paper" in the sense you're trying to use here.
