The parody is really of ‘Take a Break’, which seems to be the most popular (and long-lived) of these real-life story magazines, ‘Chat’ probably being the second.
The ‘worst tabloid ever’ is undoubtedly the ‘Sunday Sport’:

You can really see the grief and shame on their faces.
Hmm, those teasers sound familiar…
Young school boy shouts profanity at Trump rally!
Man walks into McDonald’s with a dead badger!
Jill Stein is a fearmongering crank who thinks Wi-Fi harms children’s brains!

“Beating”? or . . . “losing”? It’s a race to the bottom!

The Sunday Sport is like The Onion, but with added porn.

Do you work for them?
Because that sounds like it’d be a great marketing slogan for them.
I mean, who doesn’t love The Onion?
Aww, it’s a mini tent and light set for a mini person.
My fave fake tabloid headline is, hands down: “Dwarf Rapes Nun; Flees in UFO”. It is actually a novel.

The Register (the frequently sarcastic UK based IT news website) have been doing their best over the years to top that “Super Caley…” headline, with some success:
Super Cali goes ballistic – Uber says it’s bogus (even though its contract is something quite atrocious)
But even their everyday headlines are clearly crafted with a love of puns and alliteration which should probably be illegal, such as:
Bitcoin bank brazenly borked

We could be here all day listing all the despicable shit that excuse for a newspaper have done over the years. The Fatima Manji one just happened to be the most recent (although it was a week or two ago so probably not now).
