The second story you link to was also covered in the Guardian:

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2007/nov/10/india.internatio...

The third was covered in the Independent, a (former) broadsheet which I think most would consider as respectable as the Guardian: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/belief-and-the-bra...

[edit] And the first story was covered in the Telegraph, another broadsheet: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/2238...

The news in the Mail might be a bit hyped but it's not "wildly inaccurate". I don't read it either, and wouldn't, but it's not exactly The Daily Sport.




re. the second story:

Indeed, but the pictures were left out. Maybe someone had that rare quality called tact ?


Tact has nothing to do with accuracy, which was what you were commenting on.

Tabloids by their nature print many more photos.


Just in case:

Of course, now you can say that's just two examples, and then I can go back and find another 10, and so on.
