Do you really expect anything else from the Sun mate? Or any other tits and arse tabloid rag for that matter. People who want news get news from news sources, not an apology of an excuse for a paper like that. Disgraceful assumptions attempting to pass for quality journalism.

I did read it as it broke on line - there story went in one direction straight away without any reference to facts.
Its not just the red tops - they're all as bad. I worked with a guy whos friend died in mexico a few years ago - the journos came in the pub on the day of the news and asked for gossip - after a polite feck off they printed a column of lies the next day.
Unfortunately, rock stardies in sleep of natural causes doesnt sell papers.

What the Sun reported...

GUITAR ace Gary Moore died on holiday yesterday - choking on his vomit after knocking back champagne and brandy.
The 58-year-old ex-Thin Lizzy star was discovered just before 4am by his girlfriend, unconscious in their Spanish hotel room.

Medics found him lying lifeless on his back wearing just his underpants.

An ambulance source said: "We believe the deceased had been drinking heavily."

A source at The Kempinski hotel on Spain's Costa del Sol - where suites cost up to £3,500 a night - said: "There were definite signs of alcohol in the room.

The Sun quoted people who were there and were directly involved.....I'm not saying who's right or wrong.....but I know the great Mr Moore was not a tea totaller and I know people of a certain persuasion still slag the paper off every chance they get...The Sun is no worse than any of the other Red Tops...

this is the Sun article - hink its only right to post it to go with the thread
www.thesun.co.uk/.../Gary-Moore-found-dead-in-hotel-room.html

if you check he other papers, on this occassion they've all just paid respect to Gary Moore and not cited a cause of death.

they're definately all in for he quick sell if possible - prime example, Piers Morgan at the Mirror. How that man dare show his face on tv after printing false photographs of british troops torturing iraquis in the gulf war is beyond me. Yet he gets a feckin chat show!

The Sun quoted people who were there and were directly involved.....? where? They said an "ambulance source" (could be the bloke who changes tyres back at the station). A source at the hotel?? Could be the hotel cat!
Those hacks are the lowest of the low.....They left their humanity behind years ago!

i'll always remember a very apt saying-
"people who read the times actually run the country

people who read the guardian and independent would like to run the country

people who read the sun don't care who runs the country as long as she's got big tits."

'nuff said.

Quite a few people are voicing their displeasure on Facebook, regarding the "reporting" by The Sun on Gary Moore:
http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=74160509127#!/group.php?gid=74160509127&v=wall

I reckon the "Boycott The Sun Newspaper" Facebook page may take off in a big way, after The Scum's latest comments.

Yeah, the sun has caused a rumpus on NWB’s, but we know what to expect.

I’d just prefer to remember the great Gary himself and admire one of the greatest guitarists ever to pick up a Les Paul….RIP

What I find the most strange about the Sun is it targets itself as a paper for the working class but does everything in it's power to promote the forces working against it's target audience, both in the political and corporate worlds.

The Sun is a disgraceful and disgusting paper. I really do think the world would be a better place without it.
