The Sun is just a joke. It's one of the best selling "newspapers" yet it's a load of rubbish. All the articles revolve around showbusiness - scandals, what's happening in a TV show, who's going out with who - hardly news really. More important stories to the world like the fact there could be a war between India and Pakistan take the centre pages while "really important" stories like the Angus Deaton scandal take the front page... it just doesn't make sense. It has no right to call itself a newspaper, hardly any news is contained in it.
When you open the paper, it looks as if it's a comic for 12 year olds, Nintendo Official Magazine springs to mind. On Wednesday this week, I found a copy on the train (I wouldn't buy it, I have morals). In it every single page was full of childish comments about how people "love their Sun" and how "it's so much better than the Mirror". Every blooming page filled with comparisons to the Mirror from Sun readers and how they love it. Do these people have no lives? Firstly they LIKE The Sun. Secondly they wrote in to say they LIKE The Sun. Thirdly, some of these people are like 50 years old and they are saying how rubbish The Mirror is.
And the fact is The Mirror isn't actually rubbish anymore. Ever since it's stopped acting like The Sun with similar stories, it has become more like a newspaper then a colouring book. For example, ever since September 11th they have printed story after story about the War on Terror - serious news. Meanwhile The Sun is probably wondering about whether Kylie Minogue is still going out with that boy or who will be the next Big Brother contestant. Today for example, The Mirror is ABUSING Big Brother. Looks like they've changed for the best, so how people who read and write to The Sun can that The Mirror is rubbish I have no idea.
So why do people get The Sun? The television guides alright if your a soap fan, although it basically tells you the entire storyline ruining it for people who watch it. I wonder how many years the Judge will give Mo on Eastenders? 8 years - says so in The Sun. I remember a while ago they did a whole two page spread on how Martin Kemp was going to leave Eastenders... sigh. Yet people buy it, again and again, and it always seems to get sold on in the shop I work in. I think it's basically people thinking it's essential to get a "newspaper" on Saturdays, and since The Sun has a reading age of 8 (I think someone actually proved that) it's the easiest option. Nice and colourful, lots of pictures, hardly any writing, a topless girl on the third page - sounds like a good paper to me.
Well it's a load of rubbish, and I hate the stupid paper and refuse to read it. Okay, I've said it now. Thanks for hearing me out.

If you want to read proper news, don't buy The Sun. Simple. It's been like this for ages, and it's not like it pretends to be something it isn't. The Mirror however, gets my goat. They are masquerading as a 'proper' newspaper, yet they'll still put a big picture of Kelly Brook on the front to sell a few copies. They also put a negative slant of every single story, and do the opposite of whatever The Suns says, which is pretty damn childish in my book.
Read The Guardian.

I disagree with every point you made. Sorry. The Sun is a fantastic newspaper. OK, it is not deadly serious like the Times, but it is not made for that audience.
If you want serious news:
Times/Guardian/Telegraph etc
If you want a funny look on the current state of affairs:
The Sun
Also, The Sun portrayed excellent coverage on the War on Terror.
