    So true

    The story of the ............................ comes to us from The Sun, an id-like publication that makes up for deficits in factual accuracy by indulging the collective subconscious' sickest fears and desires. So it may not be true, but it feels like it should be.
    I would suggest that comment could apply to the majority of todays"media" not just newspapers but radiio and TV also.

    (The Sun is probably the worst of the UK rags, a topless girl on page 3 every day being their main selling point)

    The very reason why I never watch televised news and seldom read a newspaper. I'll "touch" the headlines on the Google news page every couple days.

    Sad point for the Sun, if that's the only way they can get people to buy it.

    Unfortunately The Sun does rather give silly and "celebrity" news. If you want serious news look elsewhere. I look at Sky News on the internet, you get it up-to-date.

    Where I live, my town has the Messenger which talks about
    who got cought with drugs or who died. The front page is
    usually about current events like the Earthquake in Japan
    and stories of our being snowed in a few weeks ago. The
    other newspaper we get is USA Today.
