I Knew The Daily Mail Worshipped Hitler

But I didn’t know that it was behind a fake-letter scandal that was used to bring down the first Labour government in the 1920s.
“For politicians of Livingstone’s generation and ideology, the Daily Mail is, as it were, a blue rag. They call it the “Forger’s Gazette” because of the Labour-damaging fake “Zinoviev letter” in the 1920s. They refer constantly to the paper’s soft line on Hitler in the 1930s and its infamous 1934 “Hurrah for the Blackshirts” headline.” The Guardian, 25th February 2006
“Newly released documents reveal how in the 1930s its (Daily Mail’s) treacherous proprietor heaped grovelling praise on Adolf Hilter and the Nazis, sparking calls from Jewish groups and MPs for the newspaper to say sorry. Daily Mail boss Lord Rothermere, grandfather of the current chairman, described his psychotic hero as “superhuman” and suggested Britain and Germany should unite to rule the world.” The Daily Express, 2nd April 2005
No wonder why it’s called “The Forger’s Gazette”.
