The Sun

The Sun is a right-wing tabloid newspaper in the UK owned by Australian billionaire Rupert Murdoch. It often prints stories without any factual basis in a "shoot-first, ask-questions-later" kind of style.

It is also a scientific fact that the writers / editors / photographers and anyone involved with the production of the Sun are the spawn of Lucifer. In a twist of irony, this story was actually published by the Sun in an August 1994 issue. However, the Sun denied the allegations and sued the Sun for compensation, the Sun winning £2.4 million in damages. The newspaper has continued printing nonsensical crap since.

Politically
Politically, the Sun is as far to the right you can get without being openly fascist, although some headlines would suggest that they are, i.e. "Gotcha; Our lads sink gunboat and hole cruiser" in regards to the British bombing of an Argentinian ship during the Fawklands War of 1982. However, they tried to downplay their support of Nazism in a January 2005 issue which had a picture of the Queen's nephew Prince Harry on the front in a Nazi SA uniform with the headline "Harry the Nazi." It's message? Nazism is bad!

Controversy
The Sun is famous for it's topless Page 3 girls and high sex content mixed with celebrity gossip and sports. It's very popular with the white working class, and when walking around London it can frequently be seen on the dashboards of unmarked, white vans (no joke).

Other controversial issues of it's past include;


 * Coverage of the 1989 Hillsborough football riot in which it claimed fans picked the pockets of injured victims, assaulted police officers and literally pissed all over emergency service workers,


 * Using the headline "Bonkers Bruno Locked Up" (2003) when boxer Frank Bruno had been admitted to hospital in mental health issues,


 * False allegations of Elton John having sex with rent boys.
