Will ignoring it make the stupid articles stop? I doubt it. Better to ridicule the articles on every media possible, to let its authors know that there are some people out there who think they're idiots for writing such rubbish.
That won't work. Ignoring it won't make the problem vanish, and the regular Daily Mail readers will just be all the more convinced the articles make sense. One way to combat that is to offer contrasting opinions. Some of the Daily Mail regulars might even listen to and agree with these contrasting opinions, and some might not. But it's certain that next to nothing will be achieved by ignoring these articles, because it will have negligible effect on the total clicks.
I added a few comments (Rasen Smiffy), simply because some of the drivvle irks me. Alas, I fear that it like trying to teach a dog to play chess, futile and infuriating. As people have pointed out, it is probably best just to ignore it. If only I could bring myself to do it.
Let's not let the dm win.

PS I didn't actually read it
I must be the devil incarnate then. I read tha Mail. also the Guardian, the Express, Telegraph and so on plus the local rags. Why should I limit my reading because I ride a bike? I don't find any paper to be independent. I like the Guardian articles, I don't like their bias. Not allowing comments on certain articles or slanting them to make a political point, but they do allow a lot of comments on some stuff. The Express is even worse for this though. The Mail is totally anti cyclist and some of their articles verge on criminality IMO, but they are more free with comments than other papers and therefore more entertaining. As long as you don't believe a word they say it's all pretty much ok.
Well, the OP read it and so did others who commented. Guess we have to be resigned to communing with Beelzebub.
I think we're all old enough to make up our own minds.
I was about to reply to the same post.
