He was arrested and detained for hours, during which he was subjected to humiliating examinations. The good thing is that he had recorded everything with a camera. The investigation results proved his innocence

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?

Continually whinging about a source instead of accepting the story has been reported in multiple sources makes me think you're playing games.

This like saying if Faux News and Newsmax said trump is great, he's gotta be great...

Like, why is your problem with me and not the person who's "sources" are literally a list of right wing UK tabloids that literally lie and misrepresent this shit

Faux and Newsmax said immigrants were eating puppies in America, is that true?

I don't even want to ask you about Bat Boy or Samsquantchs

To all the morons that disregard this because it's the daily mail, the story is reported multiple other places:

Lol, you've linked two more shit papers. I'm not aware of 5pillars so that could also be shit

Buffalox@lemmy.world · -2 pts · 192d (1 reply)

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!

Who said the story is false?

Plus what's wrong with complaining about the quality of sources?

The only person who is whining is you
