Punish, convict or shut down The Sun newspaper for years of misleading press.
The Sun newspaper has had a history of creating sensationalist headlines in order to create a knee jerk reaction from the public, more often than not, these headlines have little research behind them, or no research at all. "Facts" have been invented and outright lies have been told to sell papers.
