Guest Frandsen08 Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 in case i have missed it and not having the time to read all of that what have the sun done? Quote
Smiffs Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 An Anti-Sun Hillborough rant wrapped in the wellbeing of Fabrice Muamba. I'm not sure which is more distasteful. Quote

Traf Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 The Sun were wrong to run that photo on their ste, along with the one with him face down, but let's not get embroiled with the "justice-seekers" Quote
Youri Djorkaeff Posted March 20, 2012 Author Posted March 20, 2012 Absofuckinglutey. How did they turn that round to them? We'll fight our own battles, ta. I think it was written by a citeh fan. He doesn't half go off on one but i can see what he's saying. The Sun were the only paper to show the worst pictures available and it doesn't suprise me they did, distasteful to say the least. Quote
MickyD Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Like it or not, it's news. That the pictures are considered distasteful matters not a jot to them. Buy it or don't buy it. Quote
birch-chorley Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 There was a series on BBC 1 recently following folk who where trying to sue national newspapers for liable. Had people on like Lembit Opik, Gazzas Mrs, George Galloway etc who where all trying to sue national news papers. Long stroy short the leading lawyer to go to if you want to sue a newspaper said that The Sun is the best tabloid for getting the story / facts correct. The daily Mail however gets hammered with complaints for just making up the story / facts. Quote

Boothy Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 Not read the article apart from one incredibly sensationalist highlight (ooh how ironic). Personally I don't see the major issue with printing a photo. Worse things are printed regularly than someone receiving life support and afterall, it was aired on live television. (I am going off the photo at the top of the article here, I haven't read the Sun or seen what they put in). Quote
Burndens Bogs Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 I was more upset with Sky Sports news on Saturday night reporting that Fab was " In a stable condition" when he was in fact critical. Quote
birch-chorley Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 All 3 are media whores. Was the programme taking the piss? No it was legit, there was a host of others as well. Really good programme to be fair. Cheryl Gasgoine got paid out half a million, about 470k was costs, she had to re-mortgage her house to see them in court. The tabloids treat liable cases as big games of no limit poker as in most cases they have deeper pockets and out bluff the other. Quote

It's not as though she'd paid for the house herself. Two faced wankers. Quote
birch-chorley Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 That was part of the defence that the tabloid used but apparently that is still not enough for them to completly fabricate a story from thin air. As well as being ?30k up she got a paragraph / retraction on some random corner of the middle pages. If she had lost she would have had to pay the tabloids costs and gone bust. Quote

I feel no sympathy for daft bitches like her as well as those "politicians". Quote
jazza Posted March 20, 2012 Posted March 20, 2012 I've not seen the photos or ever want to... i remember Fabrice on his debut against stoke running the midfield and thinking he is the most athletic midfielder we have had for years I remember his joy at scoring I want to see it again I don't want to see anything else Quote

Pablo Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 Scousers were sad for not buying the Sun, now slowly other sets of fans / people are getting the message, and following the trend. Cardiff, and now I am reading Bolton fans not buying it. I think its the same with most people, we don?t really care, unless it affects us. Some on here were wanting opposition players badly hurt and even worse a few months ago, wonder if they think that now. All clubs/people have their idiotic element. Quote
frank_spencer Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 I was more upset with Sky Sports news on Saturday night reporting that Fab was " In a stable condition" when he was in fact critical. You can be critical and stable at the same time. JSL Quote
no balls Posted March 21, 2012 Posted March 21, 2012 You can be critical and stable at the same time. JSL You can also go from stable back to critical. I asked my stepfather as he was at mine. He reckoned he'd been stabilised when he got there, that was what the release meant, but he was critical too. Quote

But he was still in a critical condition at the time. Quote
