Get the Daily Mail reclassified as a fake news website

Mr Badger · 15 Dec 2017 at 19:02

Good gentlefolk of GD.

Do you consider the Daily Mail to be:

1) A robust source of factual news content; or
2) A morally bankrupt cesspit of clickbait and hatred that actually performs an entertainment role for those that like to be told what should be making them indignant.

If it's (2) then you might be interested in signing: https://www.change.org/p/5000-sign-...aily-mail-reclassified-as-a-fake-news-website

If you chose option (1) then please post your outrage below.

Option 3) elaborately decorated bog roll.

Seems flawed to be honest, the Daily Mail is a newspaper not a website? Mail Online (a website) is a completely different entity.

can we stick the guardian and The Independent on there too?

lets be honest, round here the only site not considered fake news is the bbc

Yes please. I wonder how much the printed media has got left, I know The Guardian is struggling because they're always begging, I imagine when all the boomers die off that they'll take the newspapers with them.

I can't remember ever actually buying a paper at any point in my life.

Some of the above are biased, rather than fake like the Mail.

All news outlets are full of ****. Every single one of them.

Typical lefttard, ban, rubbish anything they don't agree with.

All news sources have a bias, you either choose to agree or disagree, it's what grown ups do.

I’ll not defend the independent as it’s turned into rubbish since going online, but the guardian is decidedly more credible than the Mail, even taking into account its obvious left wing bias.

there's a difference between bias and outright twisting the truth so far it's now going the opposite direction though.

You'll be option (1) then. Also, who said anything about a ban?

Why don’t you just go the whole hog and ask for every right wing newspaper to be banned. That’s basically why people want it banned. Freedom of speech doesn’t exist to the left unless you are left wing.

Right wing folk would be rounded up and shot if they had their way.

That’ll be why there’s similar polls for the telegraph and times.

Right?

Right?

Bueller?

I did actually once buy a copy of the mail. We’d just got a new cat and I needed something to go on the floor round the litter box. It was the obvious choice.

Why would right wing folk want to round up and shoot themselves ?

May explain why they use the Mail as the fountain of all knowledge though

All the newspapers are ******** with their own agenda.
