Gutter press will never change no matter what you tell them

The best way to deal with these publications is to:
1. Not buy them.
2. Not read them.
3. Not talk about them.
4. Not post about them.
5. Not share them in social media.
6. Turn them around at the grocery checkout stand.

If people do those 6 things, then they won't need to give their energy to those kinds of websites/publications. By posting links, they are making money every time someone clicks through.

By emailing them, all you are doing is letting them know that you read their publication and cared enough to write. They will NEVER change their ways. And thanks to the vast ignorance of the general public, they'll never go out of business.

When you're unhappy with a person or situation sometimes you have to stand up and give a clear and firm "NO".

If their twitter feeds and e-mail accounts are flooded with complaints, at least they'll know they're not respected in their field of work.

Please help.

They are like Trump. They don't give a fuck and will never change their ways because the public is full of morons that will support them.

The best thing you can do is to ignore them, otherwise they will drain you of your energy.

Leave it to Prince's estate to go after them for slander. Even then, it won't make a dent in their profits. There is simply nothing you can do, short of going and bombing their offices. And even then, they will remain in business and not change their ways one iota.

Valid and excellent points in both of your posts. I really hope Prince's estate does go after them even though the news corps' pockets are deeper. I guess I'm just desperate for justice in this world...

With people like Murdoch still alive -- and Prince dead -- you have to wonder how there could possibly be a god. (Obviously there are better examples, but this one is related to this thread.)

I am hoping that Murdoch is asked to be a character on "Game Of Thrones" and that Ramsay Bolton spends an entire season flaying him alive. Murdoch dying from one of/all of the ways folks died in "Se7en" wouldn't be enough. One of the worst human beings on the planet.

While I'm sympathetic to your concern. The audience that reads the daily mail for things like this aren't IMO actually too concerned about reality or facts. They tend to live for this type of trashy sensationalism and made up stories. So their writers will never change.

I think it is astounding how firstly, once someone has died you can just print anything without any vaild proof.

Secondly, by placing quotation marks around the claim they somehow think that can give them carte blanche to make any claim. Literally you could print anything.

Lastly, sadly, once someone is dead you cannot slander them (although it would be libel as it is printed) in the UK and you cannot sue anybody therefore the paper cannot face any financial action whatsoever. It means they could literally accuse someone of mass murder and they could face no action whatsoever. I must also apologise because aside from maybe the Guardian and a few Scientifi articles the UK has one of the worst newspaper industries in the world. We're sorry.

I thought everybody stood up to poor journalism on principle
