Please please PLEASE don't give the Daily Star clicks and revenue
They're shit-stirring, racist, xenophobic, rage-baiting cunts and the fucking bottom of the barrel in journalism
You could say that about most of the tabloid press but it's a good point, so I've switched the link to the Internet Archive and will try and do that when dealing with the gutter press.
On UKPol, we have a "reputable source" rule, which is often a good guide. People tend to interpret it as "not the daily mail/star/express/s*n".
Though I guess it can be less serious over here. Maybe a "try to find a non-crap source, otherwise archive.is/screenshot."
Sunday Sport, for example, home of the creme-egg-bum-man:
It was originally in the Liverpool Echo but for an And Finally... I tend to pick the source with the best headline.
And that Sunday Sport story is a favourite for circulating on WhatsApp at Easter.
A decent ad blocking setup should prevent any real revenue.
