Re: Will you buy The Sun on Sunday?

Also, Dominic Moghan is editing it, so it is unlikely to develop a different editorial direction from the Sun on Monday to Saturday if the same person is in charge of the whole show.
err, The Sun is still a trashy newspaper, with the same editorial policy and same addiction to hacking and if it is a "family paper" what about Page 3?

The Sun's reputation is pretty bad as well, they have also been linked to phone hacking!

They have been planning the The Sun on Sunday as soon as they shut the NOTW!
