Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?

It's not just about one issue with the Sun. It's about their intrusive journalism, bias, propoganda, and outright lies, that are printed to sell papers, and to brainwash people. You have to remember that they are known as the gutter press for a good reason.

Well you aren't a businessman are you? What the Sun do is try to get into bed with whoever is in power, and try to be their mouthpiece. Unfortunately too many people a gullable to believe the propoganda they print.

Hmm, didn't they use the headline "It was the sun which won it"?

Oh wait, sorry, it was "It's The Sun Wot Won It"

Says it all really, piece of trash paper.

Retailers can refuse to stock it if they are concerned about the margin. They won't do that though as it gets people into their stores who will probably buy some other tat at over inflated high-margin price.
