'Journalism'

The Sun newspaper is an easy target at the moment, what with newscorps phone hacking scandal it has become a sitting duck for the left wing Guardianista's (Richard Littlejohn (c) 1998) but for all the amunition the left have on Newscorp and its newspaper empire, they fail to see the good points of their journalism.

I might be accused from time to time of only being as good as the news which is occuring, and although I let Gaddaffi's death, Amanda Knox's conviction overturning, Michael Jackson's doctor being found guilty of his manslaughter all go without comment, todays news is too important to let go. You are (if you are one of those people who accuse manmachine201 of only being as good as the news occuring at the time) right.



All those events fade (Gaddaffi, Jacko, Knox) in significance in comparison to the news events today, reported on the front page of the Sun newspaper.

AXED X FACTOR KITTYS 8 HOUR SEXFEST



An enduring image which is somewhat still less important than todays news.

We all remember where we were on September 11th, some of the older folk remember where they were when the Berlin Wall came down, but we will all remember where we were when AXED X FACTOR KITTYS 8 HOUR SEXFEST occured.



That's Kitty Brucknell, former X-factor contestant.

The older people might remember Ronald Regans 'Evil Empire' Speech, or even Mandela being released and the end of apartheid, but none of these events are culturally or historically as significant as AXED X FACTOR KITTYS 8 HOUR SEXFEST

The Sun of course, could have gone with other news stories on the front page, it could have gone with the reopened Stephen Laurence murder trial, which began today, or the continuing turmoil of the European economy, but how would they have been able to sleep at night when a story as important as AXED X FACTOR KITTYS 8 HOUR SEXFEST



That's Kitty Brucknell, former X factor contestant.

The Sun could have gone with the continuing arab spring and in particular the political turmoil in Jordan, but how could they have lived up to their claims of integrity, honesty and courage if they didn't report first and foremost on their front page AXED X FACTOR KITTYS 8 HOUR SEXFEST

They could have reported the biggest story in the news today, the news that those at the very top of the corporate pyramid were aware of the illegal practices surrounding phone hacking were aware, and that it was not only the News of the World but the integrity, honesty and courageous Sun newspaper, who were the only people brave enough to bring AXED X FACTOR KITTYS 8 HOUR SEXFEST to its front pages.
