Anyone have a link to yesterday's Sun frontpage?

#1

I want to confirm that like all the rest which I was able to find - the Mail, Express, Times, Telegraph, Metro, Evening Standard, Fin. Times, Independent, The i, Daily Star, every national daily front page bar the Mirror and a small column on the Fraudian - that the the Scum also had ZERO about the voting down of free school meals for hungry kids out of term time.

They seem to be coy; Ive tried looking myself of course.

thx

Not what you are looking for but FWIW…

I’ve not been able to see the front page. There is a site which shows these (https://www.tomorrowspapers.co.uk/) but for some reason the sun is excluded (no not for that reason, because the express and the star are covered :pensive:).

According to online timings they broke the story the evening before yesterday:
RASH DECISION Furious Marcus Rashford blasts Tory MPs for making kids feel they ‘don’t matter’ after losing free school meals bid

There’s an update the next day. ‘Furious Marcus Rashford’ would make a good headline though as they had covered the story over the previous few days they might have thought they’d covered it prominently enough.
While the sun is portraying itself as sympathetic, the same can not be said for the first few commenters.
Good luck in your search Mark :slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you
Eventually found a copy on twitter; confirmed. Nada.

Put this about a bit on social media:

Wednesday’s ‘Starve a Kid, Save a Quid’ vote led to probably the angriest response to Johnson’s crew ever on social media and a front-bench resignation. “Selfish Bastards!” “Scum!”… . But ZERO! ZILCH! NADA! on Thursday’s frontpages of The Sun, Metro, Mail, Express, Times, Telegraph, Fin’l. Times, Evening Stand., Indepen’t., The i, Daily Star; also Nada on BBC ‘news’ webshite on Thurs. ‘It just didn’t happen. And even if it did, it was no biggie.’
Only 1 paper the Mirror led on this, and just a small column on the Guardian’s cover.
Democracy simply cannot happen without a critical informative counterbalance to government extremism.
Resisting the slide to corporate totalitarianism requires us all to:

  • Be Aware and Share the consistent gross bias in establishment media.
  • Support media reform that takes (mis)informing the public out of billionaire’s self-serving hands; and call for democratisation at the more Tory than ever BBC.
  • Support recent innovations and boycott and speak out publicly against the establishment-owned-and-serving mainextreme.

"

Caitlin Johnstone agrees
(emphasis added)
“Humanity will continue along its self-destructive trajectory until the masses use the power of their numbers to force real change.
Humanity will not use the power of its numbers to force real change as long as it’s being successfully propagandized not to do so.
The oligarchic propaganda machine is therefore the primary barrier to our transition from our self-destructive patterns into a healthy collaborative relationship with each other and with our ecosystem.”

What an excellent quote. And what a stunning demonstration of true Tory values. We should send each of our MPs who voted for this (mine did) this picture
