DM is pretty funny really. They do a great job at stuffing their articles with a gratuitous number of pictures, and the captions are almost entirely repetitive with the article. They also make sure that each article about that person gives you all the background you'll ever need by bringing up the person's entire life story (divorces, DUIs, that time she freaked out at the papparazi taking her bikini photos on vacation, salary last year, etc).
It's not even really a pure tabloid style. It's something unique to them. It definitely feels like the authors are getting paid per word because their articles are just insanely long and a waste of time. But they do an excellent job of summarizing it all at the beginning with a paragraph of bullet points, and they strangely don't make things up and are actually one of the most factual news sources lol. Hilarious clown world overall.

That is not even remotely close to the truth. They are notorious for being pretty much the worst news source in the UK and have been for a long time.
Yes and no. They report on things with sources that are sometimes questionable. They usually give plenty of details on what those sources are, so it is up to you the reader to evaluate if that source is credible. This means they sometimes get stories wrong of course, but it also means they get stories right that aren't covered elsewhere. They're about like Zero Hedge in this regard. But the mainstream establishment media has had plenty misses like this too, so the overall theme stands that you as the reader always need to consider a variety of perspectives to try to determine truth.
But they're not one of those "See the shocking photos that prove Borris Johnson is actually an alien" tabloids.
Waily Fail - Questionable Source
"fact checkers" are seriously cringe and an argument from authority. Don't outsource your thinking to the establishment's favorite propaganda tools.
quality journalism
