The Daily Mail is, has long been, a staple of FR posts on all sorts of subjects. Its the UK equivalent of the NY Post.
Among other things it carried the Hunter Biden laptop stories reliably throughout 2020.

The problem here, in your case, and many others, is an emotional reaction, due to being invested in a narrative. It leads to irrationality and inconsistency.
The problem here, in your case, is emotionally trusting *any* mainstream media source these days. And especially British tabloids. Have you *seen* the printed version?
