I thought the Daily Mail mostly wrote sensationalized articles. Shouldn't we on HN be aware of that by now? Is there a Brit around who can confirm?

They do have that reputation, especially when it comes to medical study results. Here is a list of things they have said 'cure' or 'cause' cancer: http://kill-or-cure.herokuapp.com/

I'm not sure you can write off a news source completely though - for instance Fox has a bad rep among some people, but I'd guess they get better interviews with Republicans than CNN, so if you want to know what they have to say, that would be where you look.

Was the URL changed?
