I 2nd your statement
According to the wiki page(yes, I know)
The Daily Mail is a British daily middle-market[2][3] tabloid newspaper owned by the Daily Mail and General Trust.[4]This is not "National Enquirer". This is a conservative, mainstream, British paper.First published in 1896 by Lord Northcliffe, it is the United Kingdom's second biggest-selling daily newspaper after The Sun.[5] Its sister paper The Mail on Sunday was launched in 1982. Scottish and Irish editions of the daily paper were launched in 1947 and 2006 respectively. The Daily Mail was Britain's first daily newspaper aimed at the newly literate "lower-middle class market resulting from mass education, combining a low retail price with plenty of competitions, prizes and promotional gimmicks",[6] and the first British paper to sell a million copies a day.[7]

Circulation figures according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations in July 2011 show gross daily sales of 2,050,132 for the Daily Mail.[17] According to a December 2004 survey, 53% of Daily Mail readers voted for the Conservative Party, compared to 21% for Labour and 17% for the Liberal Democrats.[18] The main concern of Viscount Rothermere, the current chairman and main shareholder, is that the circulation be maintained. He testified before a House of Lords select committee that "we need to allow editors the freedom to edit", and therefore the newspaper's editor was free to decide editorial policy, including its political allegiance.[19] The Mail has been edited by Paul Dacre since 1992.
I try to check out the DM website daily. They always seem to have a really interesting story the MSM ignored or some amazing pictures.
I originally posted it under these Topics:
Crime/Corruption; Culture/Society; Government; News/Current Events
Who changed it and why???
ABCNBCCBSWASHINGTONPOSTNYTIMESAPREUTERS?
If the Daily Mail has no place in the News Forum because its crap, then why in the heck do we allow any stories in the News Forum?
Where else can we expect to get real news?
Shall we assume the Press Awards celebrate "crap"?
The Daily Mail is criticizing the President and we all need to get along now. #theteapartyisdangerous #thisissarahpalin_duhduhduh

The seller owes her $7. That’s about it.

Kind of like a farmer was raffling off a mule.
Just before the raffle the mule died and his brother said he should call off the raffle and return the money.
The farmer immediately raffled the mule off and gave the WINNER his money back - explaining that the mule was alive when all tickets were sold and the ONLY person the mules death affected was the winner.
Farmer probably a Senator (at least) by now.
Spot on. A thief's title to stolen goods is void. This means that the thief cannot transfer good title to any subsequent purchaser, regardless of whether the subsequent purchaser was acting in good faith. The original (true) owner still owns title to the goods.
The subsequent purchasers have a claim against their immediately preceding sellers all the way back to the thief for selling goods without good title. They do not have a claim against the true owner.
By that logic, there are quite a number of exhibits in museums that are stolen property, according to the governments of the countries of origin.
Nerd not showing......
It's just that DM is a more-than-century old, award winning, high-circulation British newspaper. This isn't some guy's blog.
Daily Mail's circulation is 1,579,289 making it the second biggest paper in the UK. It's got three times the circulation of the Washington Post.
If Daily Mail does not count as legitimate news source, then NOTHING in the US counts as "legitimate" to put in the "News" topic. Certainly not the so-called "Newspapers of Record".
Noting what you consider conservative news reporting.

I thought it’d be worth more than that.
A Baltimore Sun article (http://articles.baltimoresun.com/2014-01-10/entertainment/bs-ae-renoir-summary-judgment-granted-20140110_1_renoir-girl-museum-director-doreen-bolger-bords) had this to say about the insurance:
“Museum director Doreen Bolger, who celebrated her 65th birthday Friday, said she was thrilled by the outcome. She said she was ‘incredibly grateful’ to the museum’s former insurer, Fireman’s Fund, which at one point appeared to have the strongest legal claim to the little oil painting with its swirls of pink, green and blue. Though the company had paid a $2,500 insurance settlement for the theft in 1951, Fireman’s Fund recently assigned its rights in the artwork to the BMA [Baltimore Museum of Art].”
I live in MD - this has been a story of interest for some time in the area.
What DM DOESN'T mention is that the woman's mother was an art student at the time in Baltimore. She then began an affiliation with the Baltimore Museum of Art [internship, I think].
After she left the program, the BMA noticed the painting missing and reported the theft.
Co-Inky-Dinky ??? I think not ...
Because it belongs in chat. Not the news forum.
after all these years the insurer basically gave them the ownership back, I got it
