skeptical about this publication

I agree, only because I associate The Sun with The National Enquirer.

Ivan, can you tell us more about this british publication?

The Sun is not like the National Enquirer; the equivalent we have to the National Enquirer is "The Sunday Sport", which has headlines like "World War II Bomber Found on the Moon".

The Sun has some good political reporters like Trevor Kavanagh, and their reporters are often seen on Sunday "talking heads" programmes here. Yes, the newspaper is a tabloid and has naked girls on Page 3, but generally speaking their news is fairly standard.

For about the last 40 years, it's never been very healthy to be a senior officer or in the entourage of Saddam Hussein.

Fortunate it was merely poison and not a more torturous death which Hussein is infamous for watching.

Clinton and Saddam think alike... many people close to them conveniently disappear.

Well, I wouldn't equate the Sun with the Enquirer. But it is a tabloid, that's staple diet is a Page 3 glamour model.

It is a tabloid - and therefore the news is presented in a sensational and sometimes OTT fashion, with serious news stories surrounded by 'brain bubble gum' for its readership.

However, it has a conservative bent, which for a tabloid, is something rather unusual, I would imagine.

Ivan, can tell you more.

The Enquirer is not the one your daddy knew. They have broken many stories lately.
