Liverpool FC ban for Sun journalists over Hillsborough
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...yside-38933817
Follows an already existing heavy boycott of the paper already in effect. |
Re: Liverpool FC ban for Sun journalists over Hillsborough
IIRC the Sun supported the police version of events. At the time was that the correct way to report it?
Subsequently it was found that the police version was wanting. |

"It was more than 15 years ago and still some shops boycott the Sun - such was the calamitous effect of the Sun's front page claims that Liverpool fans urinated on police, pick-pocketed dead victims and prevented brave PCs giving the kiss of life to some of the victims at Hillsborough" |

Good for LFC the sun's coverage of hillsborough was the worst kind of gutter journalism and will not soon be forgotten by any liverpool fan.

Utterly pointless vendetta, what is it going to achieve 28 years later ?
Just makes them look childish. |
Re: Liverpool FC ban for Sun journalists over Hillsborough
Not sticking up for The Sun or any other newspaper, I think the newspaper industry is on it's knees on all honesty.
The Sun is owned by Murdoch Empire ? Who also own big share in BSkyb? How many of those in Liverpool have boycotted BSkyb ? |

No it's not childish Paul what the sun did was unforgivable and shouldn't be forgotten the distress that was caused to the families of the victims was significant and it wasn't a one off headline they trotted out every filthy lie the incompetent police put out covering their backsides. As for how many fans have bskyb no idea but i have never had bskyb and never will I'd rather give up the internet and tv then have anything that's connected to murdoch.

The Paper itself, the name or brand? The Journalists, who wrote said article back in the day, who may not work there any more ? The Editor ? The Newspaper owners (Murdochs) ? Or all 4 ? |

It's not an unheard of thing though, banning papers and journalists, I would know Quote:
It's just in this case there's a serious reason behind it. I'm not sure what side of the fence I sit on. Quote:

Yes drunk fans rushed into the ground, but the police really should of understood they were there to protect the fans. No one wanted what happened, and many lessons have been learned The police did not want people to die, fans did not want people to die, the Sun did not want people to die. We need to understand, no one wanted anyone to die, but people did die and the reasons need to be understood. The Sun played no part in anyone's death that day. No one thinks it was the fans to blame that day. For such a horrific event to happen many things need to go wrong. |

Re: Liverpool FC ban for Sun journalists over Hillsborough
This is the Suns reply to the ban. Yet they continue to employ the editor who sanctioned the headline, how utterly bizarre.
"The Sun deeply regrets its reporting of the tragic events at Hillsborough and understands the damage caused by those reports is still felt by many in the city. A new generation of journalists on the paper congratulate the families on the hard-fought victory they have achieved through the inquest. It is to their credit that the truth has emerged and, whilst we can't undo the damage done, we would like to further a dialogue with the city and to show that the paper has respect for the people of Liverpool." |
