			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I will never read The Sun again. Why?:</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" src="http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Media/Pix/pictures/2010/5/5/1273048243706/The-Sun---5-May-2010-001.jpg" alt="" width="464" height="600" /></p>
<p>Not because the editorial is Pro-Tory (this time round) &#8211; though the paper&#8217;s Murdoch-inspired fancies have been made crystal throughout this General Election race (and I find blatantly politically biased news coverage like a puss-covered shoe-iron to the face). But because of the above front page, and the inside &#8216;Page 3&#8242; as detailed <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/greenslade/2010/may/05/sun-general-election-2010#">here</a>.</p>
<p>Not only are both pages a shambolic attempt to sway voters of tomorrow&#8217;s Election in the most patronising and pop-culture pandering way possible, but they highlight The Sun&#8217;s clear disregard for the public&#8217;s ability to make an informed personal choice. It&#8217;s horrific, it truly is, and if I could find more words to express my disgust, rage and downright incredulity at the gall of supposed &#8216;reporters&#8217;, &#8216;editors&#8217; and &#8216;newspaper journalists&#8217; behind this copy I would. But it leaves me virtually speechless, thinking only of the letters &#8216;F&#8217; and &#8216;O&#8217; and with this message to the nation&#8217;s &#8216;favourite read&#8217;.</p>
<p>&#8216;Britain&#8217;s Got&#8230;A Brain. Now sod off, and don&#8217;t ever darken my door again. There are papers 100 times more worthy of the 20p you cost. Which is a bargain, considering none of them are anywhere that price.  Now, bye, bye The Sun. And don&#8217;t let the polling station door hit your arse on the way out.</p>
