It appears The Sun’s claims

I've not followed this story much, and I have little interest in it.
However, it does smack of The Sun looking for another Philip Schofield who can be dragged in to the street and beaten with sticks by the mob.
When there has been a big story, it's not uncommon for the media to go looking for something similar to follow it up. It's also not unknown for family members to see this as an opportunity to cash in: the Shannon Matthews story followed hot on the heels of the McCann case.

The Sun is criticised, and rightly so, but we get the media we deserve, and if there wasn't a market for this rubbish, it wouldn't exist.

I can't remember the last time I saw someone buy a physical newspaper. I see them at garages and that but they are like weird curios. I know they get money in other ways and what you say is true, just got me thinking.

One Stop in Hartburn...everyone over 60 buys the Mail and I mean everyone.
Might as well buy The Beano.
 
Maybe these rags make a loss; is that something the right wing elite consider value if it helps get the blue party re-elected?
Profit is one thing, but neither will go away unless they are not worth it politically.

Exactly this. Same with Gbeebies. They are willing to lose money as the price to pay for pumping out the shyte they do.

This is a story that is now out of control!
The desire to put the BBC under the spotlight and unleash the braying hounds, could result in a tragic turn, before long.
But it diverts attention away from other things, so maybe that was the plan all along.

The old adage too - who is winning in all this?
In this case it’s huge for The Sun and Mr Murdoch
