So... in considering the vast pantheon of fake news, you're saying the Daily Mail is less fake? Maybe just 75% fake?
Sure.
There is nothing fake about what the DM is doing here. Its just reporting what others are saying. This may be “fake news” but its coming from “official” sources. The Ukrainian MOD may be lying. But they may not be.
There are ways of slanting news, such as selecting some statements from certain sources but ignoring others. The US MSM are masters of that. The DM is a major counter to the US MSM slant of the news because it does carry a lot of those things excluded by the US MSM. Why do you not understand that?
Its way more complete. Its a corrective to a degree to the US MSM selectivity in coverage.
You will not find a newspaper that prints the absolute truth with a divine perspective as to what the information it carries MEANS. That is, what is more important and what is less, what is a complete and sane worldview and what isnt. Humans are not capable of that.
