Just noticed a post wondering why people think Sun readers are illiterate and it made me laugh! Does anyone actually think The Sun is a news paper? I thought it was just a gossip rag really with a few bits of news to fill up space between the semi-clad bits of stuff.
Sam - I have read it on occasion and find it to be full of celebrity bollox, very little real news and virtually nothing that could pass for political anyalysis. What news it does cover it covers from a very biased perspective with screaming headlines that are rarely backed up by the accompanying article.
And Sam, I'm not really that interested in p3; if I want to look at a woman's body I've got a mirror in the bedroom thanks!
lesd1966 - ability to read is proof of literacy, but that's not what I'm asking is it?
jass - I understand that it has political sway, but that doesn't mean it is an intelligent organ!
 
You have to have a sense of humor now and then..you cant be all stuffy all the time.
 
I know a few journalists for the broadsheet papers and they make stuff up as well to meet deadlines etc and don't even begin to talk about the BBC- unfortunately our powers of discernment are stretched now as never before. If you've been blessed with a half decent education and a brain you can cross-check most information on the internet now, notwithstanding the occasional flying penguins.
