Will THE SUN Be Shut Down Too?

[joggerjayne]

In the light of Data Pool 3, will THE SUN be shut down, like the News Of The World?

You heard it here first!

(or in the papers recently)

[bibblebub]

no especially since they are planning a Sunday edition (hasn't been confirmed yet)

[joggerjayne]

Or "were" planning a Sunday edition ... before Scotland Yard techies recovered Data Pool 3, which had been deleted from the News Group servers.

They deleted (check this out) ... "several hundred million" emails ... !

And now Scotland Yard have got them back.

I bet lots of millions of those are from Sun journalists covering their own backs ... ie. dropping each other in the poo!

[bibblebub]

my guess is that NI will consider that sacrificing the NOTW was sufficient penance and that anything found now will be blamed on individuals

[Ankou]

i wouldn't miss it if it did, but i can't see it nhappening.

[joggerjayne]

You never meet anyone who actually buys THE SUN, do you.

I'm amazed that it has such big circulation figures.

[micmak]

A bit like Eastenders. No-one admits to watching it, yet it wins most of the soap awards.

[sandyRoe]

I take it for the sometimes coruscating political analysis, and page 3, too

[ummmm]

I watch EastEnders :-)

I can't remember the last time I read the sun. I only ever read the hotspots anyway.

[EvianBaby]

I buy the Sun every day. Bit of light hearted reading while I eat my tuna.

I would miss it if it went.

[Davethedog]

As bibble says they are launching Sunday Sun.

What we have here is manipulation of the media by the media.

You have to ask yourself what exactly is being hidden here. News Internationals willingness to make payout after payout and the closing of the NOTW just makes me think there is a big something thats hidden from view.

[joggerjayne]

I'm sure the word "coruscating" doesn't appear in THE SUN terribly often!

I like the way that they attribute opinions on current affairs to the girls standing there with their tits out ...

"Dolores has been gripped by the election to find a new Chairman of the African Union. Dolores was shocked when Gabon's Jean Ping failed to secure enough votes for a second term."

Dolores said ... "I bet Mr Ping would like my tits."

Etc.

If it goes I'll have nothing to read while I'm waiting for them to get my chinese takeaway ready. I can get through all of it in the three minutes that takes, with a couple of minutes to spare.

[Davethedog]

JJ You are always sunshine on the dullest days Lol

[joggerjayne]

Ahaaah !!

We have the answer to the circulation issue ...

Every take away and burger van in the country buys THE SUN.

And the Daily Mirror.

"coruscating" means "sparkling", though many people think it means something like scathing. Does Data Pool 3 have my old emails in it, JJ, or just the Sun's? There are one or two I have thought better of and would prefer to bury under a new patio rather than leave for the Met to sort through.

[HowardKennitby]

^^^ jno

Most people confuse coruscating with the more appropriate word excoriating.

[joggerjayne]

jno ... Data Pool 3 will only include your old emails if you were in contact with a journalist at THE SUN.

Or if you ARE a journalist at THE SUN.

=0)

[redman41]

Hopefully they will JJ, it's a cr*p Paper anyway !

[maggiebee]

My old next door neighbour was a Sun reader and believed every word he read. Bless.....

[joggerjayne]

A newspaper reader who believes everything they read?

I thought that was only Daily Mail readers.

"You're not going to believe this, but ... RANT RANT RANT ... grrrr! ... etc"
