Sun front page

[Dick Head]

Is this really Murdoch's knock-out punch?

 

[Prince Monolulu]

...and this from a 'newspaper' that has history of intellectual brilliance

 

[Man of Harveys]

Can't remember the exact figures but the Sun's circulation is down by something like a third, even since the last election.

This stuff is the desperate death rattle of a once big beast and, I suspect, so condescendingly rubbish probably as to turn out to be entirely counterproductive.

 

[Hotchilidog]

Desperate stuff from the Tory press. The other major front pages are as equally pathetic.

View attachment 65162

Murdock supporting the low-wage economy, the dismantling of social services and the NHS and an ever greater class divide between the priviliged and the working classes - what a surprise.

 

[haggis]

Murdoch is running scared that Labour will regulate the press with the Levenson recommendations. Just don't buy the Sun. Look what it said about Liverpool supporters after Hillsborough

 

[Man of Harveys]

Actually, from the Sun nothing surprises me. It's the boorish, stupid coverage in the Telegraph - a paper I normally quite like, despite its views - has been far worse in this election. Desperate stuff from the billionaire owners.

Not stereotyping or anything, but I shouldn't imagine a large percentage of The Sun's overall readership vote in any case. To quote our Sun reading neighbours: 'We don't vote because we don't understand politics.'

As I said five years ago Sun readers voting Tory is like turkeys voting for Christmas.

Funny you should say that, I had to explain the political parties to a dullard at work the other day. They thought the Green Party were called that because they liked the colour green and didn't know who the Tories were. They read the sun as well.

Propaganda is such a dirty word can we please use public relations!

Fair play to them. The country would be better off if more people accepted that cold truth. Starting with Russell Brand.

"This is the pig's ear Ed made of a helpless sarnie"

What in the name of frig is a "helpless" sarnie ?

 

[aolstudios]

Uncle Rupert's desperate. Miliband would be the first PM he hasn't owned for 36 years

 

[Diablo]

The tragedy is that so many people DO fall for it.

Propaganda is very real in this country and it is extremely harmful to our democracy. People bang on about the "free press" like it's a good thing, but it should really be heavily regulated to be more truthful and impartial, if it is to claim it is a newspaper.

Heavily regulated ? by whom...anyone who dislikes what you dislike ?............Do you really believe the press should be regulated ? Like it is in Russia,Syria etc ?? Should the Sun be Banned from running Down Milliband any more than you from running down the Sun .

Yep, I would go further and say that 99% of the people who vote for the tories are akin to turkeys voting for Chrsitmas.

Is anyone calling for that? I think the ideal from all concerned has been for the press to regulate itself. However, it has proved unwilling or unable to do so, as per the various delightful sagas such as paying policemen for stories or hacking into abducted and murdered teenagers' mobile telephones. In the absence of self-regulation, the state has to step in.

Should that not say "SAVE MY BACON"

Its a that shame people believe the truth is a world run by oligarchs, for their own ends, by pulling the strings of the sycophantic governors beneath them.
