    Accurate enough that the same news provided/posted on the DM is then posted a few hours later by the US news agencies....Can you show me a couple of examples of inaccurate news of theirs I posted?

        one article posted on something that happened in WW1 had pics that were captioned incorrectly,
        another was on some shipping incident that was the same, pic and caption did not match up

        but then again, when what passes for journalism these days does not know any history beyond last week that will happen


        BTW,, the other UK news websites post better articles , tend to be less errors, and lots and lots less clickbait,

          Were these on news articles I posted?

          That's not political news is it? What are the other sites you mentioned?

            they are consistently bloated with ads,

            and also give my adblocker a fit, so I have to go incognito,

            btw,, do you ever really read the articles, ,and esp the captions for the pics?


            accuracy is not their strong point,, one of the reasons they are called the daily fail
            Daily Fail ? They've been in business since 1896

                  How so? I've been on 12 cruises out of Seattle, Galveston and Miami and never had a problem. In fact I'm sailing out of Seattle to Alaska next July. The ship in the article is slightly longer in length then a USN Aircraft carrier and has better sleeping accommodations and better chow. Are you also saying that out naval ships are floating septic tanks and disease incubators?

                      "Cruise Ship Rotovirus" is practically a meme.

                      And don't get me started about their waste handling.
