Mail forced to take down article littered with ‘lies, inaccuracies and factual mistakes’
The Daily Mail headquarters in West London

THE DAILY MAIL was forced to delete an inflammatory article about illegal immigrants in a French suburb after it was described as “a sum of lies, inaccuracies, factual mistakes and data/quotes with no sources.”

French activist Marwan Muhammad identified 15 mistakes in Andrew Malone’s report, headed “Powder keg Paris,” including a claim that there are “as many as 300,000 illegal immigrants” in Saint Denis, “according to French parliamentarians.”

 

Hello @MailOnline. I've read your "devastating" article on "illegal migrants in Saint Denis". We too in France have tabloïds who couldn't care less about the truth, but I really have to say: you're in a league of your own. Everything in your paper is wrong.
