I don't like the DM but I browse the headlines as I always seem to vote for the losing side (pro Labour, pro remain) so I find it interesting to read what 'the other side' are reading.
It was from browsing DM headlines which introduced me to the issues of transgender politics.
As with anything in the DM, if the topic interests me I go elsewhere to read about it.
Of course the DM will slant the story in an untruthful way but the main thing is that it is reported. Many people will make up their own minds and not just be guided by a headline or article.
