Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?
Well as expected other titles are price matching the SOS but only in certain areas. The Sunday Mirror and Sunday People will both be 50p but only in the Carlton, Meridian and Central areas plus some parts of Scotland. The Sunday Mail will also be 50p but only in parts of Scotland.

I think Max Clifford is right
Quote:
But publicist Max Clifford said it was time the city moved on.
He said: "It's a bit like we won't speak to Germans any more because we had a war with them a long time ago.
"Obviously in Liverpool The Sun is a bad name but not anywhere else in the country.
"It will be judged by its own commercial values. If people like what they come up with they will buy it, if they don't they won't.
"What happened was a long time ago but no-one who was connected with what happened there is in any way involved with The Sun now.

Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?
Liverpool's 23-year boycott of The Sun newspaper
Quote:
It was described by The Sun newspaper as the most terrible mistake in its history.
An article printed in the paper after the 1989 Hillsborough football disaster, under the headline The Truth, prompted a boycott by readers in Liverpool.
As The Sun on Sunday prepares to hit the shelves this weekend Don't Buy The Sun campaigners in Liverpool have said previous apologies were not "heartfelt" and they will continue their campaign.
The paper reported at the time that some fans at the FA Cup semi-final, where 96 Liverpool fans were crushed to death, pickpocketed the dead and urinated on police.
'Never forgive'
Despite a full page apology for the story in July 2004 and another apology by News International's executive chairman James Murdoch in 2011, the boycott, which campaigners say also extended to the News Of The World, still stands.
|
Quote:
Campaign spokesman Peter Hooton said: "The boycott of The Sun is symbolic, and after 23 years it is still as strong as ever on Merseyside.
"People don't feel that there has been any genuine apology. There won't be closure on this until there is justice for the 96.
"Most Liverpool fans will never forgive the paper and will never buy it."
News International was contacted about newspaper sales in Merseyside but declined to comment on regional breakdowns.
|
Quote:
"The time for apologising came and went. The apology in 2004 was too little too late, The Sun will never recover in this city."

Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?
The families and friends of the Hillsborough dead and anyone else for that matter are free to make their own minds up whether or not that rag warrants any semblance of forgiveness. Max Clifford is paid to spew such nonsense so his ramblings are of absolutely no significance to anyone other than those who have crossed his palm with silver.
To suggest that that Liverpool is the only place where this rag has a bad name is pure fantasy.

I think the poll results so far speaks volumes.
It will be interesting to hear about it's circulation after it's initial launch "buzz" wears off.

Is it just a re naming of the **** of the earthsunday rag nothing more and a slight change in the typeface but it is still the same scummy rag it was before murdoch removed it from the shelves and if anyone thought this was not what he intended to do then they are naive.
