The Daily Mail is a known supporter of the Conservatives. They are also one of the pro-Brexit tabloids. According to a Reuters article, the Daily Mail published a controversial headline in response to a Brexit Court ruling criticizing the judges by branding them as ‘enemies of the people.’ According to CNBC, the Daily Mail has also been criticized by Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales for publishing fake news articles and “hyped up” headlines and “mastered the art of running stories that aren’t true.” Further, CNBC reported that DMG media responded by saying, “DailyMail.com is the very antithesis of click-bait and hype headlines. We just tell stories better than anyone else.”

I think you need to check places that aren’t righwing tabloids…

The Daily Express is a British right-wing tabloid newspaper that routinely utilizes sensational headlines such as this: NATO TERRIFIED: Trump may ‘seriously undermine’ alliance in Putin meeting – world on ALERT. Articles are typically written by journalists or correspondents and are reasonably sourced to credible information. However, like many tabloids, the Daily Express also publishes conspiracy and pseudoscience articles such as these: ‘Portal OPENS’ above New Jersey with some fearing it’s a sign of PLANET X and Could this strange corpse be the world’s first proof aliens have visited Earth?

For fucks sake, I took the 3 first that Google showed me, I’m sure there are loads more.
As it is, there is zero reason to think the story is false.
They may be shit papers, but there are still rules about what is allowed for a paper to print in UK.
I puke that you are upvoted for just saying bwuah bwuah your sources are shit, while you admit to not even knowing one of them, and you show NOTHING yourself.
🤮 🤮 🤮
You are a worthless debater contributing nothing.
Just whining over the quality of 4 independent sources!
