To wonder who exactly will buy the Sun on Sunday when it comes out?

[catgirl1976]

Would like to think no one but am prepared to find out otherwise.......

Are all of you boycotting all NI publications?

Personally I can't bear The Sun due to Hillsbrough and the racism. Daily Mail I despise for the racism and I dislike the "paedo-mania" that I think is inherent across the tabloids. I have never read the NOTW but am pretty horrified by the relevations. The whole Cameron / Coulson / Brookes circle is very wrong

at Caring Bastards

Madam, completely agree with your middle paragraph. I dont agree with their way of trying to get away without further prosecution by "closing" the paper.

There are good things the NOTW have done however. Sarah's Law being one of their major ones. And they have also shown major weaknesses in security and our armed forces kits etc.

To me, personally, this isnt an important battle. My priorities are different. I choose not to join this boycott.

and for what its worth I cant stand Cameron either

I think to many people it isnt like reading some trashy magazine. It's presented as news and newspapers have a lot of influence. They influence political thinking by writing articles biased towards a particular party and actually backing parties. Also look at the hate campaigns they manage to get going. Rebekah Brooks is personally responsible for those stupid pedophile vigilante groups from a few years ago who preyed on innocent people thanks to her witch hunt in the NOTW. Print media has a lot of power and if it's in the wrong hands it can cause a lot of damage as has already been shown.

Yes LilBB, I agree with you there. To me, I think of myself as intelligent enough to research things further myself and to not be heavily influence by one media source.

However, sadly others arent able to do that.

But that doesnt go just for The Sun or NOTW. The Daily Mail are equally as bad if not worse.

And I do avoid ever buying the DM - simply because they think all us single mums are scum filled slags on benefits bleeding the country dry.

There is a strong probability I might be council, but I am not a scratter. I will not, therefore, be a reader of this new Murdoch rag. Or any other of his titles. Neither do I subscribe to Sky. The channels I want to watch are thankfully on Freesat. Thank you Aljazeera, BBC, Channel 4 and Council 4.
And at justice nazis

You and me both there, Smokin. I mean, I never liked Cameron but his behaviour over this is astonishingly poor even for him. Just bloody hope my friends would go to these lengths to protect me if been as evil (and that is the right word)in what I'd done as RB has.

I think it just reminds me of that poem 'They came first for the Communists and I wasn't a Communist, so I didn't speak up'. If they can get away with treating people like this when they are at their most vulnerable, imagine what NI will think they can do when Murdoch gets BSkyB.

I do think this is our Watergate - and would cost us so little to support it.

I read the Sun and NOTW for three months when I worked in a very quiet pub and it was there. It was a window into a different world, I can tell you.

Boycotting NOTW is so very, very easy. Guardian online is free for goodness sake!
