Just a small point, but the Bild is not a newspaper (legally that is) and The Sun, well it is an embarrassment not a newspaper...................
I can not understand at all the people who bought a Sky subscription.
After his newspapers have written so much garbage on Germany.
I think there is a lot you cannot understand. Maybe you think the press should not have freedom just like the days of the Third Reich. Whilst the press should exercise some proper judgement and moral responsibility the press should remain largely free of government interference.
But on the other points I agree with most posters who cares what these two soft porn bullshine providers "think"or do.
"I think there is a lot you cannot understand."
Yeah I guess you're right, I can not understand, for example, why have you to this day never managed to write a halfway interesting comment.
The Sun and Bild are from the same mould. They pander to a similar readership, who like t*ts and sport and its news in short sentences, and who hate foreigners, especially when they live in their (the readers') country.
On the question of Sky, it may be better if the proprietors of television companies had to be citizens of the country in which they broadcast, as in the US.
