red top

red top
(Media) a tabloid newspaper, particularly those considered to be of a lower standard than the broadsheets.

Just as broadsheets only exceptionally outsell any of the tabloids, so middle-market tabloids - the Mail and Express - only rarely outsell the red tops (although the upmarket Sunday Times outsells the mid-market Express on Sunday and The Mail on Sunday outsells The People).
