Fury at Occult Boy Horror

In the confusion following the hacking scandal, News Corporation's brave warriors for truth have apparently misunderstood the sort of witch-hunt they are meant to be fomenting. The Sun, which is famously the most scumbag of Britain's numerous scumbag tabloids, was forced to defend itself today against charges that it has betrayed the clean-living legacy of Rebekah Brooks by publishing pictures of a semi-naked child alongside copy drawn equally from Cotton Mather and the Sunday Sport. In the absence of any real news (wars, immigrants, cricket, etc.), The Sun's front page screamed Boy, 4, has mark of devil, and featured unpixellated images of the unfortunate child and his doubtless concerned mother. A spokesbeing said that the story had already been published on Facebook and was provided by the boy's parents, which constitutes a self-evident justification under both Family Values and the snoopers' charter. Of course, it is just this kind of free speech and courageous investigative journalism that the fiend Leveson wishes to stamp out beneath his cloven hooves.
