Algy, the point I made was that this story had already been covered in a British newspaper, two days previously. The Sun were late to this party. Why? Certainly not a demonstration of the quality of their "investigative journalism"!!
The main reason that the Sun has the highest readership is due to its policy of tittilation, the quality of their journalism comes a poor second. If quality is measured by numbers, then Coronation Street and Eastenders are the best programs on TV. I don't think so!
It pains me that "the Sun" came second in the 2003 "Newspaper of the Year" awards, behind "The Times"!
It is interesting that a "newspaper" which has traditionally expressed right-wing views, often to the point of xenophobia, is now bought by a large number of Labour readers.
