Oh, come on. Any serious magazine should check its sources. The fact that the Daily Mail is a tabloid doing shoddy journalism and apparently not able to recognize satire is not a valid argument.

- rahoulb 16y agoA friend of a friend used to write for the Mail and he claimed that they all knew exactly what they were doing (and normally personally disagreed with what they were writing). They know their audience very well and know exactly which buttons to press to make sales.
- bigfudge 16y agoI guess you're probably right. I know the same is true for the Sun. However the Mail's science (read medical) writing is so woefully bad that if they do know better they are more evil than I can imagine.
- Natsu 16y agoWas the Daily Mail actually even "confused"? I figured they were just looking for the most attention grabbing stories and headlines, truth be damned. The sad thing is that you still occasionally get people who take them seriously. Even the Onion has more accurate reporting and that's by accident!
