Daily Mail Used Newzealand Terrorist Video
Before commiting his atrocity, the New Zealand far right terrorist, set up an helmet-cam to broadcast his killing spree live on facebook.
Fortunately, he did not have many followers,and not many saw it live.
Until the Daily Mail (and other outlets worldwide) used footage of the murders on their website. A very terrible editorial decission. The terrorist filmed it hoping the horrific images would be seen, and the Daily Mail vastly magnified the worldwide audience by hosting it ontheir website.
Do you agree that this is a new low for the paper.

I have nothing in general against the editor of the Mail (Brexiters will doubtless hate him because unlike his predecessor, he is not of their tribe), but this was a serious error of judgment. That they did it was worse than the fact that the Mirror and the Sun did the same, because their website has vastly more viewers.
it's not either/or.
Incidentally, I see the Mail's headline is "Massacre shame of Facebook". A reminder that the various branches of the Mail empire do not see eye to eye. I don't think this is to be laid at the door of the daily newspaper's editor at all. I imagine the Mail on Sunday will take a different line again.

^If there's any truth in the OP.
I've read the scathing 'Facebook Massacre Shame' article.
Hard to believe they'd attack others in such a way while doing exactly the same thing themselves.
And i don't buy jno's 'explanation' that one part of organisation is battling with another.

What a load of left-wing twaddle.
Are you actually saying that the Daily Mail is a Far-Right publication?

when Paul Dacre was editor of the Daily Mail it took a hard line on Brexit and had as little as possible to do with the website, which was and is full of celebrity cellulite. The Mail on Sunday under Geordie Grieg took a much softer line.
When Dacre retired, Grieg took over as the daily's editor and brought his softer line with him. Dacre's deputy Ted Verity took over the Sunday paper, taking Dacre's hard line with him, so the two papers swapped stances.
As for the website, I don't know who's running it now. It was a man from Fox News, but he was sacked a few weeks ago. That it ran the video does look like the work of a company without anyone in charge. Grieg was right to keep his distance - but the newspaper's story doesn't seem to be on the website anywhere, surprise surprise.
