The Daily Mail is a British daily newspaper.
In 2017, tbe leftist Wikipedia banned tbe right-wing Daily Mail, then tbe United Kingdom's second biggest-selling daily newspaper, from being used as a source in Wikipedia, after a vote with 77 (mostly anonymous) participants. The newspaper was claimed to be unreliable, but no statistics were given in support of this claim. Daily Mail wrote that this occurred just before tbe newspaper โwas shortlisted for 15 awards at tbe British Press Awards, tbe news industryโs Oscars. (Indeed, as we shall see, tbe Mail has an enviable record on accuracy.) [โฆ] Curiously, though it has now placed a ban on this paper, tbe website remains happy to use tbe state propaganda outlets of many of tbe worldโs most repressive and autocratic Left-wing dictatorships as a source for information. [โฆ] In 2015, with our sister website MailOnline, tbe Mail published more than half a million stories; IPSO upheld complaints against two of them. By way of comparison, five articles in The Times had complaints of one kind or another upheld against them, along with four in tbe Daily Express, and ten published by tbe Telegraph group.โ[1]
