Don’t vote, The Sun will make up your mind for you!

Last week the Sun declared that they were no longer supporting Labour and were now supporting the Conservatives. Bravo. I applaud how you think that you, as a newspaper, should decide who should be elected. It is a special kind of arrogance you have there. You clearly think you know more than the electorate. And more than that, I applaud how you have that balls to think that the electorate wasn’t going to notice that you just usurped their God given right to make decisions for themselves. Because if they had, you would be screwed.

You see the problem is that I believe the press should be neutral, or at least not openly voice allegiance for a particular party. They should provide an open, independent and neutral stance, giving the best and worst of each party and then letting the voters decide. I know this is an idealised view of how the media should operate, since any person will have a skewed viewpoint. I know that the Times will always be Conservative and the Guardian will always be Liberal in their stance and how they view any situation will be seen through that particular lens. But what the Sun has done crosses the line. They haven’t looked at a situation and given their opinion. They have openly said “we think this guy should win and you should vote for him.” Well good for you. You just proved you’re not just stupid, you’re arrogant too. Seriously, your heads are stuck so far up your collective asses, that lump in your throat is your nose.

Honestly, what more could you expect from this peace for trash. I have only had the occasional chance to read the sun. For this rare occasion to happen two requirements must be fulfilled. One, I must be bored out of my mind. Two, there must be no real papers available. What I have found on those rare occasions while waiting for my fish and chips is that the Suns writing stile more closely resembles a children’s novel than a newspaper. Here’s some pretty pictures and a title that rhymes and there are no big words in there so you don’t have to worry about that. Want to know about current affairs? Well we may get to that later, but first lets talk about Big Brother. So who’s the biggest cock this year?

But you know what, even if everyone realises how genuinely ignorant the writers at the Sun are it probably won’t affect sales. You see, the Sun has one last marketing pitch for just such an occasion.

I think the teenage boy market will keep them in business for years to come.
