Indeed, I often wonder what would happen if all tabloids were scrapped, or even banned? would the average IQ of the nation rise? hehe

Even if he did not know it, he created the culture that allowed it to happen, he would have not condoned it!

It is a great shame that the NOTW will be relaunched as The Sun on Sunday, better to shut it down, along with the Daily Mail, Star, Express and Sport!!!

I said this would happen as soon as the news of the world closed. After all, it was only Sunday's edition of the sun anyway.

No it wasn't.It was at one point a truly independent paper established in 1843.It was under Rupert Murdoch's ownership than it became a toilet rag.

It really wasn't. It had its own staff, from top to bottom, for starters. The News of the Screws had its own editorial agenda and also, the production of a weekly newspaper is an entirely different process to that of a daily.
It was owned by the same parent company, but then the Times is too.
If "The Sun on Sunday" is simply a seventh daily edition of the Sun, then it will be quite a different publication to the Screws. However, I think it more likely that Murdoch is simply trying to re-launch the Screws.
