What Newspaper for Truth
« on: March 08, 2015, 11:28:23 AM »
having just read todays SUN newspaper enough is enough I have stuck with the sun for years not because of the bias news articles but because they have had a decent sports news, but today I'm livid Headlines such as CARNAGE !!! is unacceptable I was at the match and I never saw bodies lying all about, they were just trying to stir the crap, also the match report states marc albrighton caused the baggies first chance, my god who writes this without knowing albrighton left us last season. my question is can ANYONE recommend an accurate , truthful, and un-bias newspaper for me to subscribe to

No football supporter should ever buy the Sun.

I normally go with the Times if I'm buying, mostly because Mike Atherton talks so much sense on cricket, but get most stuff online these days so read almost all of them.The Guardian seems fairly sensible when it comes to sport, and have some good column writers.

In terms of news they all have their own agendas to push, so whatever ties in with your own views really.

I wouldn't even use it to wipe my arse! Still remember trip back from Anderlect and seeing what they wrote when we arrived back in Dover.

No, is the simple answer. And as far as the Sun is concerned I would only use it as standby toilet paper: I held that view before Hillsborough.

Have to be honest and say that my Mum buys the Sun and we have had many a heated debate over it.  Her reasons is that it is a working class paper (although really it isn't), and that in the past it has done much good with charity work for example.  Also like many people I think she just prefers a light hearted trashy newspaper than a broadsheet.  Fot what its worth she does see many of the same flaws in it as I do :)

Its the Guardian every time for me.  They have a good critical understanding of the game, express their views in a clear and thought provoking way, and are not affraid to think outside the box.  And they do not take themselves too seriously which always helps 8)

What have they said?  Not that I'm suprised at suggestions of The Sun getting their facts wrong.

The Sun is horrible.

Found this is a pretty interesting read even though a few things are what I suspected about the media "Link"

They all have their own agendas and of course usually inaccurate flashy headlines meant to sell the newspaper

The BBC are just as guilty, Phil McNulty thinks we are now in the dark ages.
