The Daily Mail's sidebar is trash, selected articles sometimes have a high level.
They seem to use their network of paparazzi/journalists to actually research facts on the ground. It is paid for by the fact that 95% of the content is indeed trash that sells.
But the 5% that isn't trash contains classic what/when/where/how style facts in great detail. For select topics like the trucker protests in Canada the Daily Mail is one of the best publications.
- pessimizer 4y agoNo, the Mail is all trash. But they're also notorious plagiarists (in the modern way, where you quickly rewrite somebody else's story.) So if you have a scoop that panders to a reactionary audience, the Mail will steal it, not link back to you, and become the outlet who becomes the main social media share for it. They will do no checking or verification on the story beforehand, but if it eventually turns out to be a made-up story, they'll just delete it. They've already got the juice, so now that it turns out you're wrong they're happy to refer people to you for the credit. I even remember noticing they stole one of their uplifting weight-loss stories from another tabloid. edit: they have lots of photos, though, which is the best thing about tabloids.
