The Truth?

The Moon (spoof of The Sun)
The Voice of the Sun
LIVERPOOL - OK WE WERE WRONG
We've said we're sorry, like, a million times now...
The Sun - The truth
It is 15 years since The Moon made the worst commercial mistake in Liverpool in its history by making up stories about how Liverpool fans reacted to the Hillsborough disaster in which 96 fans died.
Some newsagents in the city still refuse to stock the Sun because of our story, which actually sold quite well in the country as, well, everyone knows they're like that up there. Unfortunately, the story led to a boycott in Liverpool itself.
Well, we've come a long way since then. The editor at the time, Kelvin MacKenzie, was really responsible for the story, but nobody could stop him as he used to bully us and call us names. He has now moved on. We need a hug.
