The Large One
Who's Next?
Whilst I have little time for the Sun, alright, a bit of time for any paper that comes up with the headlines 'Diniz in the oven' and 'Swedes 2 Turnips 1', what it printed was briefed to them by an MP and Chief of Police. 1, if not both, of those guys knew what they were saying to be lies whereas Kelvin Mackenzie was crossing his fingers and taking a flyer to sell papers. They for me, are the real villians of the piece. Bismirching the dead in order to take some of the blame off themselves. What a way to behave.
While you're right about the ludicrous briefing the press received, most, if not all papers reported on this matter. However, they wrote it as information being reported from a source.
The Sun, on the other hand, ran it, unchecked and unqualified, as 'THE TRUTH'.
