Hear, hear.
Guardian:
Wikipedia bans Daily Mail as 'unreliable' source
Online encyclopaedia editors rule out publisher as a reference
citing its ‘reputation for poor fact checking and sensationalism’
The story at the link above.
A bit of guilt here: I think I brought DM to WS, God save my troubled soul. At least I had not seen it used as a source before, back when life was young.
Tabloids can be (and are) terribly effective sources in true crime stories which, because of their sensational nature, are perfect for the red tops.
It's been that way since the 19th century.
There are many, though, beyond the pale; Wikipedia* caught this outfit bang to rights.
*and yes, there is a sort of irony here.
