Jesus I hate 'The Sun' - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**allachakb** · 01-04-2011, 09:35 AM

What I love about the Sun is how they will say "a source said x, y, z" about a person when that "source" is usually someone else in the Sun office. They do it all the time. Whenever you see unnamed sources read fabricated. They are scum who don't mind ruining peoples lives to sell papers.

As I recall, the only good feature(s) in the Sun were on page 3!

Jesus. Imagine that !

The Sun is always an entertaining read, just don't believe anything they print (unless it's in more credible papers as well).

**newwebstar** · 03-31-2011, 08:06 PM

Jesus. Imagine that !

I know, tabloid paper prints bollocks to sell papers. It's truly novel huh?

I would be so ****ing mad if they printed that about me.

And how the hell did they come up with that stuff and the guy's name if it didn't happen ?

He didn't sue or anything ?

It's pretty hard to sue when you're dead.

Just realized that while the story that he died is true but The Sun wrote a bunch of their usual garbage.

They "got the facts wrong"

Can't the parents sue ?

**jisee** · 03-31-2011, 11:14 PM

IN an article published on The Sun website on January 27 under the headline ?Gollum joker killed in live rail horror’ we incorrectly stated that Julian Brooker, 23, of Brighton, was blown 15ft into the air after accidentally touching a live railway line.

His parents have asked us to make clear he was not turned into a fireball, was not obsessed with the number 23 and didn’t go drinking on that date every month.
Julian’s mother did not say, during or after the inquest, her son often got on all fours creeping around their house pretending to be Gollum.

Also, quotes from a witness should have been attributed to Gemma Costin not Eva Natasha. We apologise for the distress this has caused Julian’s family and friends. To me it sounds like the "eye witness" they got the quotes off was purposely feeding them a load of crap to see if it got printed, then gave a false name at the end of it to lay the blame elsewhere. We should all strive to help out our tabloids in the same fashion. [rofl]

There's an old saying: "You can't libel the dead".

**FYvWldC0** · 04-01-2011, 01:11 AM

Well that's got to be one of the funniest corrections I have ever read.

Uh?

Oh wait, you said libel....
