That's an interesting suggestion. May I ask why? I really don't know anything about it.

The hesitation I had with sharing a daily mail link was "Is it accurate?" rather than whether they deserve impressions. It hadn't occurred to me that it might be a bad idea to support them.



They're widely (although not universally) considered to be irredeemable in England after an article they published in 1934 entitled "Hurrah for the Blackshirts".


Wikipedia is probably a good place to learn a handful of examples and go further down the rabbit hole from there if interested, starting with these sections:

7 Libel lawsuits

    7.1 Successful lawsuits against the Mail
    7.2 Unsuccessful lawsuits
    7.3 Legal action by the Daily Mail
8 Criticism

    8.1 Racism accusations
    8.2 Homophobia accusations
    8.3 Sexism accusations
    8.4 Paying for footage under investigation
    8.5 Byline removal
    8.6 Sensationalism
    8.7 Reliability

Although of course the wikipedia page just has a small number of examples, I'd say that the first words of those 8.1, 8.2, 8.3, 8.6 subheaders above, and lack of 8.7, do a decent job of surmising the Daily Mail.
