Microsoft's internet browser has recently warned users not to trust the Daily Mail's website.

Visitors who use the Microsoft Edge browser will also see a statement outlining how the website "fails to maintain standards of accuracy and accountability". This is in response to a crackdown on 'fake news'.

This article could be used within the Media unit, when looking at new media and as a general discussion point within the unit itself.
