The Sun newspaper, well the first thought that comes to mind for me is crap.

My current thoughts on The Sun are as they always are, you are crap, you are filth and I hope you realise this, soon.

Their publishing of leaked extracts of the Hutton report was deplorable. For once can't the media not go over the top. We as members of the public do not want underhanded tactics. I will not buy a newspaper that breaks the law, it is not big, it is not funny, it is not good that they had the news. It is shocking, disturbing and someone should take them to court. There is a line and yet again, like many thousands of times they have gone over the line. Not just any line but the law. OK some laws really are silly but when it comes to matters such as the Hutton report, well anything that the Sun would publish, then this is not tolerable.

Yes I am having a go out the Sun. Some people may say that other newspapers are as bad. Yes I agree there are other "newspapers" (not much news in them! more like a magazine) like the Sun that are as bad. I am my anger at the Sun today because of what they have done today and what they have done in the past. My main example being the Hillsborough disaster.

On the Tuesday following the disaster, Kelvin MacKenzie, then editor of The Sun, used the front page headline, THE TRUTH, in huge letters. Under that were three smaller headlines: 'Some fans picked pockets of victims'; 'Some fans urinated on the brave cops'; 'Some fans beat up PC giving kiss of life'.
