The Sun
From Liberapedia
The Sun is a right-wing tabloid newspaper in the UK owned by Australian billionaire Rupert Murdoch. The same character who owns Fox News. It often prints stories without any factual basis in an "shoot-first, ask-questions-later" kind of style.
It is also a fact that the writers / editors / photographers and anyone involved with the production of the Sun are the spawn of Lucifer. In a twist of irony, this story was actually published by the Sun in an August 1994 issue. However, the Sun denied the allegations and sued the Sun for compensation, the Sun winning £2.4 million in damages[citation needed] . The newspaper has continued printing nonsensical crap since.
Politically
Politically, the Sun is as far to the right you can get without being openly racist, although some headlines would suggest that they are, i.e. Gotcha! Our lads sink gunboat and hole cruiser in regards to the British bombing of an Argentinian ship during the Falklands War of 1982. However, they tried to downplay their support of Nazism in a January 2005 issue which had a picture of the Queen's grandson Prince Harry on the front in a Nazi SA uniform with the headline "Harry the Nazi." Its message? Nazism is bad! (Harry probably wasn't a Nazi. He just chose a silly fancy dress outfit. He also showed he was too immature to be king. Perhaps you can be a king later when you're a bit older boy.)
Controversy
The Sun is famous for it's topless Page 3 girls and high sex content mixed with celebrity gossip and sports. It's very popular with the white working class, and when walking around London it can frequently be seen on the dashboards of unmarked, white vans.
Other controversial issues of it's past include;
- Coverage of the 1989 Hillsborough Disaster in which it claimed fans picked the pockets of injured and dead victims, assaulted police officers and literally pissed all over emergency service workers. To this day many retailers in Liverpool refuse to sell the paper.
- Using the headline "Bonkers Bruno Locked Up" (2003) when boxer Frank Bruno had been admitted to hospital in mental health issues,
- False allegations of Elton John having sex with rent boys.
