The Sun Newspaper !

[mark thompson]

Some people on here talk of the Sun newspaper as the devil and if you read it you are either unemployed or the lowest of the low, I read the Sun on a Regular basis mainly for the sport, they usually break the biggest stories along with SS news. If i want a deep and meaningful read then i pick up a book (or borrow 1 from Old bones Ian) but for a 5min read it's ok.

I was raised to hate The Sun but I take any newspaper with a pinch of salt.

I've never heard of any child raised to hate anything especially a newspaper

Yeah but I come from a Liverpool family so I think you'd understand.

Fair enough, still the Sun is no worse than any other newspaper.

[Poncey]

I'm not from Liverpool and I hate them for it too. Plus they give a twat a soap box to preach from.

I'm sure you can guess to whom I'm referring.

Does it rhyme with wank?

And surely it's that Kelvin McKenzie bloke you dislike the most ?

Not read it for a good few years. The Sun and The Mirror are useful for reminding yourself what a shithole the UK is, and that we have a huge amount of dickheads here.

Yep but there are lots of others, not just those that write for the Sun and Mirror

That aside I don't like it when people judge you based on the paper you read.

The UK is a shithole through no fault of the Sun newspaper though or the Mirror, papers like the Telegraph and the Guardian on the odd time i read them (if the newsagent has ran out of Sun's ) i find very depressing and racist a lot of the time it's all doom and gloom.

[Lenny]

I think the Sun reflects the shit part of our society, whether it is a product of or whether it contributes I don't know?

You find the Guardian racist??

I find the Guardian more depressing than racist, if you read the Guardian everyday you would be scared to leave the house, Britain is full of Paedo's, Immigrants, Rapists, criminals we know but we don't want to rammed down are throats everyday.

racist? are you thinking of the daily mail

the times is ok just for the free music monthly magazine i only get it for that

Probably .

[Old bones Ian]

I read The Times, or have a look at the Independent now and again, find both a good read.

[Lenny]

Read the Independent, its world news coverage is very good.

I think the tabloids scaremonger about the dangers of paedos and Immigrants than any of the broadsheets Mark.

imo of course

[banjo]

Scaremongering is the biggest crime of the tabloids.

Terrorism - Less chance of a bomb going off today than 20 years ago

Immigration - Apparently foreigners come over here to scrounge benefits and steal our jobs

Privacy - They go on about the importance of privacy and then proceed to print what Max Mosley gets up to in his bedroom.

Computer games - apparently all computer games make you want to go out steal a car and cut off a prostitutes head, computer games cause crime, I'm sorry but what games did Jack the Ripper and Hitler play to inspire their crimes.

[Goz]

I don't 'hate' the Sun as such, it just holds no interest for me.

What it deems as news isn't really on my radar nor I would suspect that of anyone with an IQ bigger than their foot size.

[banjo]

Yup, it's a shame really because I hear Jeremy Clarkson(who talks more sense than any of these so-called "experts") has a weekly column in it which I don't get to read.

In response to your earlier post sure your right The Sun probably is no worse than all the other tabloids because they use all the same methods of sensationalist journalism.

Independent is my favourite for the same reason.....apparently it's in financial trouble, so it may not be around a whole lot longer.

Your right Mark we definately dont want rapists rammed down our throat everyday, that would be bad!

Jeremy Clarkson is a fekkwit of the highest order - I really cannot stand the man - he is also an ugly bsdt frly dressed bastard, and I take a little comfort from the fact that looking in the mirror must make him weep.

Yeah how funny was it when he posted his bank details last give with his smarmy "all you'll be able to do is put money into my account" only for someone to set him up with a direct debit straight to charity.

Clarkson knows what he is though and plays on the fact that 50% of people wouldn't mind seeing him dead

The Sun not only misquoted me completely but made me sound a bit of a twat as well. I reported an issue to a local paper some years ago and they did a pretty decent job reporting the facts. Then the Sun got the story, altered it completely and turned the whole thing into a load of rubbish. Following that The People went even further and not only took the piss but nothing of the original story was reported at all. National papers like these get away with bad reporting every day and there isnt anything any ordinary person can do about it. The rich with huge bank accounts and good lawyers are the only ones able to sue and force the paper into writing an apology. The broadsheets may be depressing and a little boring but they do tend to print the facts as accurately as possible. People are judged rightly or wrongly by the papers they read because rather like the company they keep it indicates to others their character and their level of intelligence. Sadly though many Sun/Mirror/Mail readers often only buy those papers purely for the sport pages and little else but they are still classed as tabloid readers. Womens mags are just as bad printing sensational stories about all sorts of misery. Why do people buy them? They used to contain recipes and knitting patterns but not any more, thats too tame. British society has become quite sick with a huge thirst for malicious gossip and people slagging each other off.

Funnily enough, My girlfriend just served Jeremy Clarkson and his wife in the boutique she works in, and she said he was a right miserable shit, and that he is even jowlier in real life than on TV.
