Controversial Stories
ABC News is publishing stories with citations of the Daily Mail newspaper, which is known of publishing articles without fact checking. These have generated controversy for being hoaxes or for distorting or exaggerating events. One such case is the story of a dentist who pulled her boyfriend's teeth, and was largely suspected to be a hoax. Another example is of the faked photos of Tropical storm Isaac, which Mail Online published without checking in a misinformed article under an attention-grabbing headline. In 2011 Mail Online published an article on the guilty verdict of Amanda Knox's trial. She was in fact found not guilty but the Mail Online had published the wrong article in anticipation - complete with made up quotes from prosecutors and further claims of Amanda Knox put on suicide watch - none of which were true or happened.

Famous quotes containing the word stories:
“Reporters are not paid to operate in retrospect. Because when news begins to solidify into current events and finally harden into history, it is the stories we didn’t write, the questions we didn’t ask that prove far, far more damaging than the ones we did.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
