People Actually Listen to 'The Sun'

Posted by Brendan Clarke on September 30th, 2009

This morning, I was greeted with the not-so-shocking news that the British so-called newspaper, ‘The Sun’, will be backing Conservatives for the next election, rather than Labour.

What a gamble that must be? Talk about being a fair-weather friend.

I think the inditement is on our country, rather than Murdoch’s evil newspaper. The fact that an arguably poor newspaper, whose greatest feature is a tasteless page dedicated to misogynists, can sway the views of the seemingly dim-witted population and change the outcome of a democratic election, no less, is a concept that is still rather alien to me. But alas, it is unfortunately and even unbelievably true (it has happened before).

That was harsh, my Sun-reading friends may not like that. I suppose this time, ‘The Sun’ has a point. Even ‘The Sun’ has started to take the moral ground, Labour must be in the shit.
