The SUN. It’s certainly not alone but is arguably the worst so called newspaper in Britain (very closely followed by the Mail).This Rupert Murdoch owned rag has been fueling racism, xenophobia, homophobia, transphobia, classism and just about every hatred imaginable for decades - and despite what some people believe, it’s still very much at it, albeit usually more subtle nowadays.In a 1985 column in the Gay Times, journalist, activist and media monitor Terry Sanderson reported that the Sun had ““negative gay stories almost every day for the past few weeks”. In one, the paper branded a council leader “barmy” for campaigning for black and gay people to be protected from murder. “Does Mr Murdoch’s excuse-for-a-newspaper applaud mindless thuggery then?” Sanderson asked. “It seems so.””The Sun has gone on for years spouting misinformation, hatred and lies. The sickening Hillsborough disaster frontpage, the vile “Gotcha” headline from the Falklands War, the endless attacks on LGBT, black people, workers (strikers), etc throughout the 1980s and into the 1990s (and often far beyond). Endless attacks on migrants, Muslims, Trans people, “Gypsies”, socialists and anyone else they don’t like right up to the present (there’s even an entry by Piers Morgan…)The Sun is nothing but trees and resources wasted to spout hate speech, division, and keep the UK in the hands of the richest. It’s time it and similar papers were done away with. -- source link
