Like what? I don't see anything that's not covered by other outlets.

I do see stuff like "Can you THINK yourself thin? A hypnotist to the stars says you can - and reveals the five-step technique to try if you want to shed the 'lockdown stone'"[1]

Taken from the front page right now. The article is even worse than the title suggests.

Ahhh this takes me back. What an amazing video. Made 11 years ago and it's just as accurate as it was back then.

Honestly? Fuck the Daily Mail. Also The S*n, Daily Express, etc.


The Piers Morgan episode of Have I Got News For You, from when he was still the editor of The Daily Mail, is also a hilarious watch; highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6TcgfjcOPU or full episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeOIfKrWyVA

The Daily Mail stalked Ian Hislop for years after this in an effort to find "dirt" on him (never found any), all because Piers made a complete arse of himself :-/


Morgan has edited the News of the world, and the Mirror. He has never edited the Mail, though has been published there from time to time.


Oh right, I got Daily Mail and Daily Mirror mixed up >_<

NY Times has conspicuously not been covering this NY story, whereas Daily Mail and NY Post have.


Is that... like... a story though? "Private school you've not heard of in NYC has minor curriculum and staffing dust-up". That should struggle to make any part of the paper in a major city, and if it does, maybe a little column buried in the middle.

The only way that could possibly count as international news, certainly, is if you're looking for examples of some certain phenomenon and failing to come up with any more important or relevant than that.


It is a local story, of no interest, if it doesn't validate your worldview. If it props up your side, and make the other side look dumb, then it is of international importance.
