August 18, 201114 yr to be honest I think the Mail is far more cancerous to this country than The Sun will ever be. pretty much what the guy above me said, The Sun is looked down upon as a paper for the "working-class idiot" whereas the Mail propagates the same sensationalist lies but markets itself as an upmarket paper. This is very true, but if you stop treating the Sun, like Jeremy Clarkson, as a constantly serious source of news, it can be very entertaining. I personally only read the local paper, and get the rest of the news from BBC and Sky on the internet, as well as a few other websites if my news feed links to it. I think a lot of people do the same. ~ W ~
