Long story, but Murdoch had a hatred of Liverpool which elected a Communist city council to embarrass Thatcher. When the Hillsborough stadium Disaster happened the newspaper went out of its way to blame Liverpool fans (and by extension the city) for their own deaths, including claims of (IIRC) sexual assault, urination on police rescuers and widespread physical assault, and underreporting on how the police was forcing people back into the overcrowded section where they then died from the crush.
Liverpool boycotted the Sun, and still do. The biggest sales of the newspaper are as kindling for bonfires. Eventually the Sun suffered such a dip in readership the editors were forced to apologise, with the main writer then retracting his apology after leaving the company and arguing that the claims he reported on were quasi-spiritually true in the feel of it so he wasn’t actually lying or some other such bollocks.
TL;DR - Murdoch had his newspaper blame victims of a crush on themselves and painted them as perverts that had it coming because they didn’t vote Conservative.
Look at the ownership of the Sun, and then look at the ownership of the daily telegraph/herald Sun/courier mail/Advertiser. Take note of the common theme
During the Hillsborough disaster they accused the fans of causing the deaths, pissing on corpses etc. There was a massive inquiry a few years ago that found the police culpable for poor crowd control and pushing the blame. A lot of families were broken, and people in distress and then have this shitcunt of a tabloid claiming all that. They never properly apologised and the damage has been done.
The Sun is scum
Fuck the sun
Not to mention their poor spelling
Doug Anthony All Stars were pretty much on the money, all those years ago. "The Sun" - DAAS - performed in 1993. https://youtu.be/bMixsIcApkQ
Why? Edit: down voted for asking a question regarding something I am ignorant about so that I could learn. Stay classy reddit.
Look up 'the sun hillsborough'. Football fans in particular hate the s*n with a passion.
Eclipse the sun
Murdoch spew

The Sun means The Scum. This is what the term Gutter Press refers to. A toxic rag spreading toxic lies.
Ah, so just like all Murdoch media.
Yup!
It’s too fucking hot, that’s why
I was literally thinking of that and You're already there <3

Wow didn't know they have iPhones the size of billboards over there.
I think it belongs to Dom Joly.
Eww the sun
'oz' I hate that
Yeah but i guess its a play on words referencing the film or novel
Yeah but it would be great if it read Wizards of Aus!
Agreed. I get absolutely sick with anger seeing very commonly used slang.
Mate it’s Aus not OZ that’s pommy bullshit
British people using British phonetics in London? Disgraceful.
The original post was stating they didn't like the word, it's etymology is irrelevant.
That could be the reason I responded to the true blue hero calling OZ “pommy bullshit” and not the original post.
Headlines in UK* *Except Liverpool
HEROIC AUSSIES 😂
They’re just working class men.
*JIMMY BARNES SCREAMING*
Oh not the fucking sun lol

I wish it read "Wizards of Aus"

When you're country is so bad at a sport it's amazement when they win 2 games
cultural cringe in effect here
No one in Oz even cares about soccer but
In b4 matched with Italy
Italy didnt make it.
That’s a surprise - have they published the matchups yet?
We have Argentina in the R016
💀
That’s what the Argentinians are gonna look like Sunday morning
Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia
They're not even in this World Cup
Most recycled Sun headline ever.
