yes but The Telegraph too runs invented stories

Maybe they do but if you make allegations like this why not support them with evidence? That would put to rest any possible suggestion by folk who see ulterior motives in everything, that maybe you object to the Telegraph in general. No reason to suppose you do but that's how it is.

as a climate denier yourself you migh not object https://www.desmog.com/2025/11/10/the-telegraph-record-clima...

Nope. It's a serious newspaper reporting on serious news. Usually with a vitriolic tone and wordplay, but it's absolutely not a satirical newspaper like the onion (the french equivalent would be le gorafi).

Same news other serious outlet:

Sounds similar to the UK's Private Eye.

Yes, but not in the same way The Onion (or its French counter part Le Gorafi) are satirical.

Le Canard enchainé makes fun of people and institutions, but never makes stuff up, and are arguably more rigorous than most mainstream media outlet. They have a long history of exposing real scandals, albeit with a tongue-in-cheek manner.

Like Private Eye in the U.K., which is satirical, but also has a long history of reporting serious news.
