Title: The Scum needs bringing down
Post by: Martin_1962 on 16 February 2011, 19:41:30
There is a rough toilet paper called The Sun and it does nothing but lie.

Two recent examples have prompted this.

These lies about Gary Moore

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/showbiz/music/3394698/Thin-Lizzy-star-Gary-Moore-found-dead-in-hotel-room.html

Then a load of rubbish about a poor dead girl

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3412756/Suicide-teen-was-bullied-to-death.html?OTC-RSS&ATTR=News

There are a lot of lies in the above article, ranging from the posh statement (I would say it is middle class) and saying there was bullying at the school.

Her classmates have said there was no bullying at the school. My daughter is in the year below.

The Sun - never letting the facts stand in the way of a good story since 1963   :o

Too much has been said among the children and the bullying allegations had come from outside the school.

OK then basically The Scum have been libelling my favourite guitarist (RIP) and my daughters school!

All popular media - TV current affairs, Newspapers, the Labour Party lie - its because we have grown a dumb society of thickos who are gullible enough to believe, and get excited by the sensationalised (and factually 'dangle berries') story.

When played live on stage, this song is usually introduced....... "I,d like to dedicate this song to Mr. Rupert Murdoch" (who owns The Sun,among many other global media outlets) the lyrics are quite interesting. :)

The sun is despised in Liverpool after the disgraceful lies printed in the aftermath of the Hillsborough tragedy, I don't recall the last time I saw someone reading the rag. Kelvin Mckenzie needs a good hiding !!

The Sun is a dangerous newspaper. It has the power to   control and lead the impressionable and  uneducated people of this country. :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

I think the Sun would have us and every politician believe it to be all great and powerful - truth is, they invariably decide to back the favourite then declare "its the sun wot won it" when in reality they have little or no influence (witness the attempt to destroy a hung parliament before the last general election),as soon as those in power realise they can remove the tongue from ruperts rear end the better  :y

why they listen to the non elected tax dodger is beyond me  ;)

It is amazing the factual position of The Shun is as bad as it is when you consider the other accuracy and moral stand points of Murdochs other media interests....

It has always concerned me that since the Mirror's circulation was overtaken by The Sun in the 1970s it has meant that about 4.5 million initially chose to read this absolutely awful excuse for journalism!! :o :o :o ::) ::) ::)

What does that say about the masses? :P :P :P :P

I dread to think. If there's any consolation, I wonder what percentage of the circulation can't read and therefore just look at the pictures?
