Yes. It's especially ironic in this case given the fact that the Daily Mail was pro-appeasement and its proprietor Viscount Rothermere even pro-Hitler[1] and pro-fascist[2] in the run up to WWII.

The NYT was telling us that the Holodomor was a lie around the same time, and their Moscow correspondent (Walter Durant) won a Pulitzer for it. So we should probably ignore them too if a paper's opinions from the 1930s are still relevant.

I would largely ignore the NYT, but for other reasons. Their 21st century journalism is bad enough.

The Daily Heil, as it’s often referred to, was and still is frequently on the wrong side of history.

Pushed for closer relations with Hitler, encouraged people to vote for UKIP, pushed for Brexit, frequently writes literally-proved-in-court lies and slander, the list is long.
