The Sun newspaper controversy
The controversial front page On the Wednesday following the disaster, Kelvin MacKenzie, then editor of The Sun, a British tabloid newspaper with national distribution owned by Rupert Murdoch, used the front page headline ‘THE TRUTH’, with three sub-headlines: ‘Some fans picked pockets of victims’; ‘Some fans urinated on the brave cops’; ‘Some fans beat up PC giving kiss of life’.
The story accompanying these headlines claimed that ‘drunken Liverpool fans viciously attacked rescue workers as they tried to revive victims’ and ‘police officers, firemen and ambulance crew were punched, kicked and urinated upon’. A quote, attributed to an unnamed policeman, claimed that a dead girl had been abused and that Liverpool fans ‘were openly urinating on us and the bodies of the dead’.
In their history of The Sun, Peter Chippendale and Chris Horrie wrote:
‘As MacKenzie’s layout was seen by more and more people, a collective shudder ran through the office [but] MacKenzie’s dominance was so total there was nobody left in the organisation who could rein him in except Murdoch. [Everyone] seemed paralysed, “looking like rabbits in the headlights”, as one hack described them. The error staring them in the face was too glaring. It obviously wasn’t a silly mistake; nor was it a simple oversight. Nobody really had any comment on it—they just took one look and went away shaking their heads in wonder at the enormity of it. It was a “classic smear”.’
Following The Sun’s report, the newspaper was boycotted by most newsagents in Liverpool, with many refusing to stock the tabloid and large numbers of readers cancelling orders and refusing to buy from shops which did stock the newspaper. The Hillsborough Justice Campaign also organised a national boycott which was less successful, but certainly hit the paper’s sales.
MacKenzie explained his reporting in 1993. Talking to a House of Commons National Heritage Select Committee he said “I regret Hillsborough. It was a fundamental mistake. The mistake was I believed what an MP said. It was a Tory MP. If he had not said it and the chief superintendent (David Duckenfield) had not agreed with it, we would not have gone with it.” MacKenzie would repudiate this apology in November 2006, saying that he only apologised because the newspaper’s owner Rupert Murdoch ordered him to. He said “I was not sorry then and I’m not sorry now” for the paper’s coverage. MacKenzie refused again to apologise when appearing on the BBC’s topical Question Time on 11th January 2007.
The Sun itself issued an apology “without reservation” in a full page opinion piece on 7 July 2004, saying that it had “committed the most terrible mistake in its history.” The Sun was responding to the intense criticism of Wayne Rooney, a Liverpool-born football star who then still played in the city (for Everton), who had sold his life story to the newspaper. Rooney’s actions had incensed Liverpudlians still angry at The Sun. The Sun’s apology was somewhat bullish, saying that the “campaign of hate” against Rooney was organised in part by the Liverpool Daily Post & Echo, owned by Trinity Mirror, who also own the Daily Mirror, arch-rivals of The Sun. Thus the apology actually served to anger some Liverpudlians further. The Liverpool Echo itself did not accept the apology, calling it “shabby” and “an attempt, once again, to exploit the Hillsborough dead.”
Some other newspapers also detailed the same allegations on the same day, which apparently originated from a source within South Yorkshire Police attempting to divert blame, but The Sun attracted particular opprobrium for its use of the huge “THE TRUTH” headline and its subsequent refusal to issue an apology, something the other newspapers were quick to do.
On 6 January 2007, during their team’s FA Cup defeat to Arsenal at Anfield, Liverpool fans in The Kop held up coloured cards spelling out “The Truth” and chanted “Justice for the 96″ for 6 minutes at the start of the game. The protest was directed at both Kelvin MacKenzie and the The Sun, as well as the BBC for employing MacKenzie as a presenter.
To this day, many people in the Liverpool area refuse to buy The Sun as a matter of principle, and the paper’s sales figures within Merseyside have been very poor since the day the original story was printed – as of 2004, the circulation in Liverpool was down to 12,000 copies a day, 200,000 fewer than previously.
The Reaction of other Clubs
The Hillsborough disaster did not only touch clubs in England but the disaster was known worldwide and touched clubs around the world.
On 19th April 1989 (the following Wednesday of the disaster), a European Cup semi final between AC Milan and Real Madrid was played. The referee blew his whistle 6 minutes into the game to stop play and hold a minute’s silence for those who lost their lives tragically at Hillsborough. About 20 seconds into the silence the Milan fans on the Curva Sud began to sing Liverpool’s anthem You’ll Never Walk Alone as a tribute to those who died. This was a gesture that many Liverpool fans would not forget and there has been great respect between a core section of Liverpool and AC Milan supporters since that night.
Although I’m a Manchester United fan I’ve never bought a copy of The Sun since that day and i won’t have it in the house. I feel solidarity with Liverpool fans for the tragedy. No-one deserves to die like that. God rest them all.

What is the different between Bodily Injury and Property Damage & Coverage for damage to non-owned aircraft?
February 5th, 2012
Question by Capitan Gatito: What is the different between Bodily Injury and Property Damage & Coverage for damage to non-owned aircraft?
Renter Insurance question continue….. ??
How come Optional Coverage for damage to non-owned aircraft cost much more at least 5 times more than the basic Bodily injury and property damage in order to have some meaningful compensation amount in the case an unfortunate pilot needs it ?
Best answer:
Answer by pdkflyguy
Bodily Injury and Property Damage to Others is a liability coverage, and only pays out to a third party. Therefore, if you rented a plane, and crashed it into a person’s house, BI/PD would cover the damage to the house and the injuries to the occupants of the house. It would not cover any injuries to you, or the aircraft that you rented.
Damage to Non-Owned Aircraft coverage would cover the aircraft itself, in the even that you damaged it while in your care and control. The reason that this coverage is so much more expensive is mainly to do with the likeliness of a loss.
With any typical flight, you are not very likely to crash the plane, cause massive injury to others, or damage huge amounts of property. Therefore, the insurance company can be relatively sure that out of say 1,000 liability policies that they will write, they will only pay out on one of them. This is not true of damage to the rented aircraft.
But think about this: How easy is it to ding up a plane is a small way? In a Cessna 172, for example, pull back to hard on the yoke at high power, and you will strike the tail. A small accident, sure, but one which costs the owner money in repairs and inspections. Or you accidentally step on the wrong part of the wing getting into a Piper Warrior, again, small damage, but expensive to repair. As the rental company will hold you responsible for any damage that you to do the plane, the insurance company sees far more claims for this type of coverage, say 40-50 in 1,000 policies. And since these claims can costs thousands of dollars, they charge an appropriate amount.
Renter’s insurance is expensive, there is no doubt, but it is not nearly as expensive as a claim would be if you didn’t have it.

Do I need full coverage insurance if I get in-house car financing?
February 3rd, 2012
Question by alexthegreywolfe: Do I need full coverage insurance if I get in-house car financing?
I have no credit and I think in-house car financing is the only way I can get a loan for a cheap car (I’m looking for something up to $ 3000).
Is full coverage car insurance mandatory if I get in-house car financing?
Best answer:
Answer by aneurodoc125
If by in-house, you mean through the dealer, probably yes. He needs to be sure he will be paid for the automobile if you go out and demolish it in a week. You would be foolish not to carry medical and liability. A judgement against you for injuries to someone else can literally ruin your life. If you ever make any money, it goes to pay the judgement.

No more for-profit evictions in the Mission District! Sat, January 14, 12pm — 3pm Where BART Plaza at 16th & Mission St, San Francisco CA (16th Street Mission BART) Description Thousands of renters and homeowners in San Francisco are being evicted by banks each year. ________________________________________________________ Occupiers Take Rooftop of SF Bank Protesters calling for an end to home foreclosures from the roof of a bank in San Francisco’s Mission District were arrested this afternoon. Police around 1:45 pm arrested five protestors who had climbed on top of the roof of the Wells Fargo at 16th and Hoff streets more than an hour earlier as about 200 people gathered on the streets near the bank. The arrests came after protesters on the roof refused to come down until representatives in the bank below faxed a demand letter to Wells Fargo CEO John Stump calling for an immediate moratorium on home evictions and foreclosures. A police liaison apparently told protesters that the letter had been faxed to another company representative and not to Stump, according to Occupy SF Housing organizer Julien Ball. Moments later, police arrested the five protesters, who climbed down a fire engine ladder before being led to a nearby patrol van.
