    If news corp really cared, they'd disband the sun and news of the world and NOT continue at all.

    ... and if the general public really cared, then they would take a stand and not buy the rags in the first place.

    But the people behind this debacle will ultimately be moved sideways & keep their jobs &,more importantly,their pensions.Anyone who is 'sacked'(cough) or resigns (cough cough) will get a substantial golden handshake/severance package.

    Um, no offence but what other reason do you think they have for shutting it down?

    They are trying to jettison a toxic asset in the hope that it will not affect the rest of News Corporation's activities in the UK.

    Surely you cannot be so naive as to think they did it because it was 'the right thing'? rolleyes.gif

  • All they will do is replace it with the Sun on Sunday. It will be almost the same paper.

    Why don't we all boycot all News International products. Lets all join the queue to cancel Sky Television (Which I only have because my girlfriend watching all the girly crap they show on living).

    Jerseylicious, has anyone ever watched it. It has got to be the worst program on tv ever.

    You could get her vigin cable if you get it in your area, still get the living channels, but aren't paying sky (well not as much goes to sky although am sure they make some of advertising and a charge for virgin to carry the channels since they bought them out).

    I don't buy any newspapers for that exact reason.
