Another almighty fail from the paper of ridicule.

Glico Man · 26-01-2010 05:45PM

Honestly, who reads that paper other than the BNP and it's followers?

Russell Howard got it exactly right when he said "The Daily Mail, racist in public so you don't have to be"

Pretty much every single one of their "journalists" (I use that extremely loosely) are hacks that should not be allowed near a keyboard, or allowed out in public for that matter

The Daily Mail, arguably the best newspaper in the world. /Alan Partridge

I feel sorry for the woman involved here thats complete scum what that journalist did and is against the Code of Practice set out by the Ombudsman. I was involved in case like this about 5months ago and a full apology was given but it will still never remove the labels t hat will now be attached to her by her colleagues.

The Daily Mail? I would never have thought it! At least its not as bad as The Express. Everytime I see the front pages of these papers I have to wonder if half the UK population hides under its bed in the morning in fear having read them

The Daily Fail.

Yup.

ScumLord · 26-01-2010 06:08PM

Any one who pays money for the dailymail is actively supporting media terrorists.

Latchy · 26-01-2010 06:13PM

Much cheaper to read view it online

OctavarIan · 26-01-2010 06:13PM

Just to clear something up, it was the Irish Mail on Sunday that ran with this, not The Daily Mail. They're two different newspapers so if you're going to moan, moan in the right direction

It's still a pathetic piece of journalism though.

I really feel for that girl. Surely she has recourse?

She published it in an online blog so she herself chose to make it public. I doubt they misquoted her.

You could argue (& she might) that they took it out of context but I would guess the quotes were literally correct so I would be surprised if she has grounds to sue them.

They took what was said completely out of context and mispreresented her position. Considering it was done without her approval she has grounds for defemation of character and damaging her professional repuation.

Grounds at least for a retraction.

How about turning the M upside down and calling it the Daily Wail? They do quite a lot of wailing on their front page.

The Daily Mail's most popular story would be something along the lines of

Immigration leads to higher crime rate and lower house prices

Mike 1972 · 26-01-2010 10:44PM

Uncyclopedia have a good article on this obnoxious rag.

Mind you lately the Express is even worse. Both of them make the Sun look like balanced reasonable, well informed journalism of the highest quality :eek:

m@cc@ · 26-01-2010 10:48PM

That's what passes for creative journalism in a national newspaper? Life working in an air traffic control tower? Let's hope it's serialised.

Mal-Adjusted · 26-01-2010 11:46PM

well...what do you expect from the paper that used Stephen Gaitleys death for an attack on the Gay community?

The original article that she wrote is available there.

There is very little similarity between the two.

Notorious · 27-01-2010 12:40AM

Haha! I know the author of the article!

What trash.

Actually the paper in question didn't publish that article.

[edit]Technically, a lot of people in this thread are posting off topic, as they aren't writing about the article nor even the paper it was published in.

It's so easy to tell who actually reads newspapers and who just mouths off what they've been conditioned to think.

Celly Smunt · 27-01-2010 12:54AM

everything in that newspaper is proven fact!*

*fact may also be interpreted as fiction

have they figured out what really really really happened to diana yet though?

Sheeps · 27-01-2010 01:06AM

The Daily Mail went after a friend of mine who just so happens to be the son of the woman who was accused of stealing from Adam Clayton. Her children have literally nothing to do with the case against her, and the Daily Mail went to town with a huge 2 page slander piece about them, even going as far as hacking their facebook and printing the daughters picture on the front page.

The Daily Mail is a serious piece of shit.

Based on a true story that never actually happened

Someone is getting a serious ass-kicking over this one!

I've read the Daily Mail enough times to know what a steaming pile of crud it is.

Reactionary toss
