Amidst the wake of the News of the World’s closure due to
phone hacking scandals, Murdoch has predictably launched another paper; The Sun
on Sunday.
The Sun is the nation’s most popular newspaper with a
circulation of almost 2.8 million a day, proving that 5.4% of the nation are absolute
morons. I have some respect for Murdoch, after all, he is a phenomenally successful
business figure and his enterprise makes millions of pounds per week. That
being said, I still think 90% of the journalistic content in his papers is
complete rubbish. The articles consist of celebrity gossip which is just not
substantial “news” and the writers present their work at an average reading age
of 7.
When Murdoch shut down The News of The World, I knew myself
it was simply a publicity stunt, trying to show the nation that he was
completely against the illegal phone hacking. But his release of The Sun on
Sunday reveals otherwise, since he has decided to employ a number of ex-NoTW
journalists who are still under investigation for phone hacking.
My advice to you is; don’t buy The Sun, any day of the week.
Counterfire fully support this.
