First look at News International's new Sunday tabloid.
By Jon Bernstein Published 25 February 2012 22:43So here it is ... not quite how we imagined it earlier in the week. Now, how will it sell?
...and this is how we mocked it up on Monday. Which is better? You decide.

I would cut off a finger before I buy that shite. I find the sun depressing. People in work buy it and the odd time I have read iti ask myself why in a supposedly evolved society of intelligent people do some people want to read this dumbed down moronic garbage. It is also written for a reading age of 9. That says it all.
As I see it - there's not a rag out there that I would wipe my dogs arse with let alone read and believe anything thats written in it - even the so-called quality press is so laughable if it wasn't so serious.The entire British press has a problem with telling the truth. British newspapers accross the board are filled with nothing but misleading public relations information from handouts distributed by its oxbridge chums at westminster and they spread nothing but deception, distortion and political propaganda. Journalism in the UK is in a pitiful state - a TV newsreader in The Simpsons summed up our press up very nicely: "Journalists used to question the reason for war and expose abuse of power. Now, like toothless babies they suckle on the sugary teat of misinformation and poop into the diaper we used to call the six o'clock news."
@tesco, i agree,the problem is there are huge numbers of people who are influenced by this trash. In tabloid world everything is black and white,everyone has to have an enemy and hate someone and everything is about competition and petty spitefulness. It's appalling and then the same papers complain about how society has gone to the dogs.
@Paul, you def sound like a typical sun reader. Semi literate and with the reading and writing ability of a 9 year old which means you should be able to understand what is written in the sun as it is aimed at that sort of level.
amanda holden? really? start as you mean to go on I guess.
Through the means of common exchange, often referred to as cash.
Why didn't they just call it The Sunday?
The Sun on Sunday sounds a bit stilted, and The Sunday Sun is already taken.
Wasn't this story published at the time it happened, 2 or 3 weeks ago?
When I'm in charge, journalism will be split into newspapers - which publish news - and bullshit-rags, which will be displayed 3 feet above the porn mags.
The most humble moment of Murdoch's life didn't last long. Bet you he's got some dirt to spill in the near future.
Their is nothing I likempre that seeing te self righteous cretins screening in pain as Murdock wins again.
Go Murdock.
Paul - demonstrating he too is a grade A self-righteous cretin.
