"Real" newspapers have firewalls between the business side, the news side and the editorial side. Do you think for one minute that the New York Times or Washington Post would not run a newsworthy story if it disclosed something unfavorable about its management? I'm no fan of the NYT's politics, but it is a "real" newspaper and I'm certain beyond a shadow of a doubt that its newsroom would always run such a story. Maybe it would be on page 46, but it would be run. The Sun is not a newspaper - it is the developer's tool to sell more property - and it can run whatever it wants. I just don't think anyone should call it a real newspaper.
