      The Daily Beast began publishing on October 6, 2008. Its founding editor was Tina Brown, a former editor of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker as well as the short-lived Talk magazine.

      The name of the site was taken from a fictional newspaper in Evelyn Waugh’s novel Scoop.

      Scoop is a 1938 novel by the English writer Evelyn Waugh. It is a satire of sensationalist journalism and foreign correspondents.

      I mean, the founder has good credentials and the name is literally from a satirical book about sensationalist journalism, which vibes with the publication being described as a “high-end tabloid.”

          For me it’s just confusion because of how I personally handle things.

          If I find an unusual source… I research the source. I find as much information as I can to figure out how trustworthy the source is. It’s basically automatic.

          So I don’t really understand the “I’m just gonna say I’ve never heard of this because I can’t be bothered to look something up in under 30 seconds” especially when it comes to more well-known publications.
