The Telegraph that was heavily pro-brexit. It's a shit newspaper, so extremely biased it's derisorily called the Torygraph. It's a tabloid newspaper in broadsheet clothes and continues to influence the opinions of it's elderly readers.

The only good news is that said readers are dying off due to old age.

I just read about them on Wikipedia. I wanted to see if they were a Murdoch rag and the answer is it's not owned by Murdoch but it's all the same garbage in terms of editorial content. They used to carry literal Chinese and Russian government propaganda and they almost got bought out by the UAE. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Daily_Telegraph#2023%E2%80%932024_takeover_bid I hope that if they try selling again that it could be sold to someone who will turn it into an unbiased source of news.

This is exactly the kind of article you’d expect them to write after promoting brexit. They are following the ABCs of shite journalism, “Always Be Grifting."
