BREAKING THE WORLD’S BIGGEST STORIES, A REAL SUNDAY NEWSPAPER NOT A DÉJÀ VU PAPER

-

THESE days too many newspapers are more like déjà vu papers – full of stories you’ve already seen on the internet or heard on TV and radio.

Not The Mail on Sunday, whose brilliantl­y talented and fearless team of writers are earning a global reputation for breaking the biggest stories on the planet.

On April 5, Ian Birrell reported how the head of the World Health Organisati­on stood accused of putting lives at risk by parroting China’s Covid-19 lies and cover-ups. Birrell’s story was followed-up across the world and last week Donald Trump sensationa­lly announced he was suspending America’s $500million funding of the WHO.

A fortnight ago, our Political Editor Glen Owen was the first to reveal that British Government Ministers were treating seriously intelligen­ce reports suggesting the Covid-19 virus may have leaked from a research laboratory in Wuhan.

Last week he followed up with the news that the lab had been researchin­g bats from the same caves that scientists believe were the original source of the virus and, what’s more, it had been doing so with the help of a $3.7million grant from the US government.

Both reports made internatio­nal waves – with The Washington Post last week reporting that the US State Department had warned of the lab’s sloppy safety procedures in 2018.

Then last week’s Mail on Sunday had another marmalade-dropper on its front page – the breathtaki­ng revelation that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange had fathered two children INSIDE the London embassy where he was a fugitive from justice.

All this comes on top of our publicatio­n last year – in defiance of threats of prosecutio­n from Scotland Yard – of the secret cables that revealed what our ambassador in Washington really thought about Donald Trump. Days later the diplomat, Sir Kim Darroch, was forced to resign. And, of course, no newspaper has broken more exclusives about Prince Andrew’s scandalous friendship with billionair­e paedophile Jeffrey Epstein than The Mail on Sunday – which reported the original story of Virginia Roberts’s accusation­s back in 2011. So if you want to read a real newspaper not a déjà vu paper, keep enjoying The

Mail on Sunday – this month crowned Sunday Newspaper of the Year at the newspaper industry’s awards.
