Katie Borkins 1 Posted March 17, 2015 The Managing Editor of the Sun, William Newman, wrote the following letter to families and friends of those who died at Hillsborough in the days after complaints about the Sun''s coverage:"We are sorry that, possibly clouded by grief, many have not understood that it is The Sun''s duty as a newspaper to publish information, however hurtful and unpalatable it may be at the time.On reflection, we accept the way in which the article was displayed could have given cause for offence. For that we apologise. For the substance we do not.We cannot possibly apologise for facts and to do so would be an abdication of our responsibility to a wider public beyond the city of Liverpool. If the price of a free press is a boycott of our newspaper, then it is a price we will have to pay."Beyond parody, really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
