The Sun misquote Fury...disgraceful.

Post by Stevieb8006 »

I know journalism is at an all time low, but in an article with Mike Tyson in today's paper they claim Fury said that all gays should be "shot dead". Surely he could sue if he's been misquoted, I certainly don't remember him ever saying anything like that

They love a good dig for a story! Wasn't this around the time when it was deemed PA Ward was updating his account without his knowledge.

The sun barely qualifies as a newspaper, I'm surprised people even read it any more.

Has anyone seen a film clip of this Mike Tyson interview, i'm curious as to what he was really getting at when he was saying we are all laughing at Fury, but he thinks he's the best boxer since himself and loves the fact he has his name.

Is Mike Tyson suggesting we are all laughing at Fury because he is a bit gangly and not the most coordinated of boxers, he did punch himself in the face remember. Or, is he referring to his antics and controversial comments?

Back in my student days and money was used for alcohol The Sun was the favourite rag to use as bog roll. Simply because the print didn't come off on your arse like the Daily Mirror's or Star's would. Now that I can afford bog roll I have no need to buy The Sun.

Yep - sounds like the OP has misquoted the Sun .... disgraceful.

I wonder if he thinks that The Sun should be allowed to sue him for this misquote?

Did you not follow the Leveson enquiry?

Some retards believe anything written in a paper. I know of Man Utd fans who believed every word The Scum said about Hillsborough until proven wrong.

Nope, published several years ago: http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov. ... he-report/

The second part of the report has been put back until all criminal proceedings resulting from it have ceased, however this was merely about the implementation of changes following the report.

What prosecutions could they face? The people who died at hillsborough obviously can't make the complaints so that's the libel out of the way. I'm pretty sure that you have to prove that a publication printing falsehoods is absolutely wrong which can be an expensive thing to do, especially for working class people in the 80s.

Who knows what might be possible once everything gets out in the open and everything is finalised.

Sorry, confusing it with the Chilcott enquiry.
