Fingers Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 This non-existent terrorist cell is a different non-existent terrorist cell to the non-existent terrorist cell which was planning to kill Lord Alan Sugar. http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/sep/15/sun-alan-sugar-error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 You'd have thought with all these rag excuses for journalism they'd be the target for terrorism rather than Corrie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Why do you care so much what The Sun writes then? Hook line and sinker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melthebell Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 Why do you care so much what The Sun writes then? because is it right they make stories up? is it right that people may go around thinking these stories are the gospel? to me it highlights a dangerous trend in this country Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mj.scuba Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 because is it right they make stories up?No, but take it with a pinch of salt. is it right that people may go around thinking these stories are the gospel?If people take it as gospel they're already not right in the head. The fictional and far fetched story is possibly less disturbing than what was really planned by those arrested, it's no worse than perhaps reading that Christmas shoppers were planned to be blown up, for example.

melthebell Posted December 31, 2010 Share Posted December 31, 2010 If people take it as gospel they're already not right in the head. thing is plenty of the general public DO, and i wouldnt class them as wrong int he head, thats what scary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upinwath Posted January 1, 2011 Author Share Posted January 1, 2011 Why do you care so much what The Sun writes then? You should. The Sun is read by a lot of people. While very few have a working brain, they do have a vote and loonies like the BNP are likely to get that vote while such stories are being printed. If anyone can cite an extremist right wing, nationalist, racist government that hasn't totally destroyed the country they were in charge of, I'd love to be educated.

freezer Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Totally agree with upinwath The fact is that this was a front page story - the main news of the day for that paper, and it was a complete lie. Not a mistake, but a total fabrication. Not only that but it was a lie designed to feed into anti Muslim feeling and stir up tensions. The apology will not be a front page splash, and most people will not see it, and so the damage is already done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky3 Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 ...

I've heard on here that the Taliban were a good government, I disagree, but many will defend them and the right to slate them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
