The article was informative and inline with other media news sources posted on hn. I've never heard a newspaper described as weak before, what strength should they possess that they lack.
- wk_end 5y agoI'd say a strong news source probably doesn't need to lean on a "Sunshine Girl" [0] to sell papers. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunshine_Girl https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunshine_Girl
- ipaddr 5y agoDon't they have a sunshine boy as well? Seems fair and well within my liberal worldview (a nude body isn't a sin). It is probably time we accepted a more mature view of the human body. It always wondered why killing someone is acceptable at 8 or 9 but nudity is forbidden in primetime.
- wk_end 5y agoNo, they don’t. And while I’m not against nudity (though there’s no nudity in the Toronto Sun), sticking some T&A in your tabloid to boost your appeal to the horny demographic is the opposite of a “mature view of the human body”.
- rbobby 5y agoAs a Torontonian... the Sun isn't much of a paper. Good for sports and fish wrap. Breathless crime reporting too. City politics. That's about it.
