It's a piss in the middle of a rainstorm but it's still cheering news that the weather porning, immigrant hate machine the Daily Fail is banned.

Are there any reliable news sites out there?

Is there a connection between its popularity and its lurid fake news? Hmm, I wonder...

Funny because the common consensus is "don't trust Wikipedia", oh how the tables have turned!

I'll never understand this complaint anymore, Wikipedia self-corrects in like 0.3 seconds and cites scholarly sources.

When they called the High Court for "enemies of the people" a line was crossed. Such misuse of terminology is outright dangerous.

Never seen such biased, populist, uneducated fucking horseshit. There should be laws against deliberate rabble-rousing misinformation.

The average Daily Fail headline would be "EU Immigrants bring a new strain of aids which causes climate change and lowers property prices."

9 years ago | Likes 34 Dislikes 2

And then there's the Daily Express: "MUSLIM ASYLUM SEEKER REFUSES TO KNEEL BEFORE PHOTO OF PRINCESS DIANA"

9 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 1

Close, but that would be acknowledging that climate change is a thing - far too progressive for the mail

9 years ago | Likes 13 Dislikes 1

They'd happily pretend that climate change is real to blame it on Johnny Foreigner.

Cool. But were I writing a paper for a class, I wouldn't cite Wikipedia as a source either.

You know what you probably could cite as a source? Wikipedia's sources.

MSM shouldn't be used as a source for facts anyway. They provide commentary - the facts are found elsewhere.

Are you retarded? That's such a ridiculous ad hominem. The Daily Mail was NEVER mainstream.

"MSM" meaning "main stream media"? That is absurd.

9 years ago | Likes 6 Dislikes 2

"MSM" is the new buzzword from people who feel that a random tweet from an egg supersedes centuries of journalist credibility.

Remind me, Daily Mail was the one getting the bejesus sued out of it by Melania Trump for insinuating she was an escort, right?

God, I'm all for her suing for defamation, but the way the complaint is written just makes her sound like the greediest fuck in the world.

Given the size and reach of the Daily Mail, I think the numbers have to be huge to be taken seriously. The court will decide what's fair

I actually have no problem with the amount frankly.

I'm hoping they sue and counter-sue each other so hard all their money just burns up in a flash like tinder. FWOOSH.

Not the amount, the phrasing "Ruined a unique, once in a lifetime opportunity." Turning the White House into a money making opportunity
