Daily Mail

Hi Historianism. Thanks very much for your kind comments. The Daily Mail is what we call in England a tabloid newspaper, i.e. its orientation is popular rather than serious. Its politics are firmly to the right and it is considered non-mainstream on issues related to ethnic minorities. Some people quote the fact that the paper supported Hitler in the 1930s but of course it has been under several editorships since then. The serious papers in the UK, which are always reliable sources in WP terms, are The Times (centre right), the Daily Telegraph (right), The Independent (centre), The Guardian (centre left) and the Financial Times (centre). In this particular case the Daily Mail's reporting was obviously shoddy. It said that Sir Ian Blair had "revealed" the existence of forced conversions, yet it did not cite any of his actual words, and the statement the police eventually issued did not bear out the Mail's version at all.

Dear Judith, Thanks for your reply, IMHO: The Guardian is far lefty biased, The Independent as "center"? all I see is Jihadists or those apologizing for Jihadists quoting 'The Independemt' in demonizing US, Israel on forums, I heard much too humuor about the "title" that never suit them. As to the Daily Mail being connected to Hitler, I am pretty sure that most anti - daily mail do not include it in their political agenda. As to them being a tabloid-paper, I can not disagree with that, in many cases. Historianism 10:07, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
