its just been on north west tonight, and the editor of the s*n has defended the paper to an extent by claiming other papers used the same headlines. but what he leaves out is that other papers acknowledged that they had used unnamed police sources and most apologised soon afterwards, the s*n used the headline the truth and refused to apologise till years later and it is only then , we all questioned their motives. it was when they signed rooney up to tell his f'cukin'g boring life story , and rooney was slated across merseyside. the editor then said he would help the families campaign for justice, but they refuse to meet with him, again passing the blame. the fact remains this is aploy to increase circulation on merseyside which is down to less than 25% of what it was before the disaster
i dont want to upset anybody here but in ,my eyes justice for hillsborough will come years from now when all police officers on the day of the disaster are dead or retired and any one else to blame has moved on, then the truth will be known.
but then i feel that justice wont have been done, it will just be an attempt to save face by the parties to blame and relieve some of the guilt.
the editor of the s*n and the presenter were talking to a father who lost his son in the disaster (and he lost a son years later in a freak accident were he was crushed when marble fell on him, i think) and they seem to gang up on him and put him in an awkward position, which i felt was wrong as he was not an academic person, he was an ordinary fella, his views were pure emotion. the news presenter seemed to be biased towards the editor of the s*n, made me sick in a way
