I’m not a big fan of The Sun, or tabloids in generally really, but today they’ve done something absolutely remarkable.
To get hold of a tape (which showed a friendly fire incident in Iraq) which the U.S originally said didn’t even exist is such an impressive feat that it almost makes me want to reconsider my disregard for the paper and its somewhat ‘iffy’ history.
Scoops like this are what the national press needs. Real, earth shattering news that has such force that politicians everywhere must sit up and take notice.
I’ve been trying to get hold of sales figures for yesterdays News of the World – which lead with the story of Faria Alam apparently being a hooker – compared to today’s Sun.
Interesting to see whether the celebrity story won through…or whether the general public care more about this.
Well done to The Sun.
