A fresh item about the only other national newspaper stupid enough to hire Julie Moult:
The Sun: Tabloid Lies – Setting up “investigations” with only one possible outcome: Occasionally, the Sun likes to take a break from attacking the “work shy” and on benefits just in print and decides to set-up a fallacious test to prove just what a bunch of layabouts those on benefits are… This time the paper has been completely caught out by its own readers, which happily saves me the bother…
A very promising entry that you should read and take some time to think about if you’re a regular here. I think now more than ever that we stand a very good chance of reaching at least a small percentage of Sun readers with this new project.

If that's true, then call me a hater! I really like the new project, there's some fantastic rubbish from the Sun on there. I must admit, I haven't paid that much attention to The Sun for a while (too busy hating The Mail each day), so wasn't aware at just how piffle-filled it still is.Also, some more Facebookery – "The Anti-Daily Mail Coalition": 11,790 members"I don't care what you think, I love the Daily mail": 189 members.

Someone should conduct a poll of anti/pro newspaper groups on social networking sites.Let's give the job to Iain. We all trust him.
