Besides it would take me back to having to reference every flipping source used in a piece of work. Done and dusted.

I don't disagree with you. I have a blog post about just this.
Like Withano, I think any link is better than no link at all. There's nothing more frustrating than opening a threat to a news story only to find it has no link… its difficult to start a dialogue on hearsay.

As for using the DM as a source... when a poster perpetually posts stories from this trash tabloid, you know you can't debate with them because their political knowledge is flawed by a distorted view of how politics works.
