Reply to: The Sun caught out lying, again...never

They've now published a "clarification". It clarifies the fact that the piece was completely untrue

And now it turns out that the train he claimed he travelled on out of Croatia wasn't running that day - there was a replacement bus service, which would have made him miss his connection at Salzburg

You'd think they could employ somebody who checks the stuff freelancers write, to make sure it's accurate and should be in the paper. They could call them "the editor" or some such title

In the Wail when they make up stories it's just "Daily Mail Reporter".

And no the editor knows nothing especially if there surname is Brookes.

The Sun does actually do corrections and apologies but in other newspapers: http://i100.independent.co.uk/articl...on--ZkIij0Ik9g

We know that the Sun, along with many other media outlets of all persuasions, tend to lie

We know that the Sun, along with many other right wing media outlets, tend to occasionally constantly lie

FTFY.

The bloke who wrote it was a freelancer though. Definitely not an employee. He isn't even invited on the christmas do, so that proves it.

I used to work with a chap who got the Sun every day. He explained "It's just a comic to read over lunch, and it's handy for the TV schedule. I find out what's really happening from the TV news."

Understood. And how many Sun "readers" are that clever?

[vetran]

I never knew the sun had any true stories.

I once shared a regular train commute with a sun reader. I asked him why he read that drivel. "It is best for sports news" he said.

Maybe newspapers should be banned from combining proper news and sports news?

Used to date the Daughter of one of the Sun's Racing Pundits. Champion bloke.

I know a Liverpool fan who buys it on a Saturday for the weekly TV guide. The look the other Liverpool fan gave him was priceless.
