> Daily Mail articles are usually highly accurate ... Six decades of personal exposure to The Daily Mail and UK tabloid gutter press says otherwise. Leaving aside its questionable history as a paper founded by an admirer of Mussolini and a supporter of Nazi Germany, its questionable present having remained in ownership by family within which the apples remained firmly attached to the tree, The Daily Heil has a business model predicated upon clickbait, outrage, deliberately misleading and emotionally loaded falsehoods and the entire gantlet of fake news predating modern social media, mobile devices, the world wide web, and the internet. eg: Woman, 63, 'becomes PREGNANT in the mouth' with baby squid after eating calamari (2012) ~ https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2159692/Woma... I question whether in fact you've read the rag in question, your comment has the hallmark of deliberate trolling. |

You could have cited ANY story from the long history of the Daily Mail to demonstrate some kind of inaccuracy. It would have been only a single data point and not that useful, but you could have done it. But like always with this claim by the left, you picked a story that is fully accurate. In fact it's just a retelling of a medical case report written by doctors:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21834723/
There's nothing inaccurate in the Daily Mail's coverage of this story.
Instead:
- You reacted to the headline for dumb aesthetic reasons
- You made assumptions instead of checking
- You engaged in nonsensical ad hominem attacks. The New York Times famously ran interference for Stalin. Do you consider that questionable history to disqualify all NYT coverage for Wikipedia too?
Your response is a perfect encapsulation of the problem that Wikipedians have. Like all leftists you aren't actually concerned about accuracy, you just hate any news source not controlled by your ideological allies, and want to censor them all out of existence.
