Mike Tyson’s Message To Foreign Criminals: Get A Book Deal With The Sun’s Rupert Murdoch
COMPARE and contrast the Sun’s treatment of foreign villains. The Sun is owned By Rupert Murdoch:
* “HOME Secretary Charles Clarke was in the firing line last night after it was revealed HUNDREDS of evil foreign criminals are on the loose in Britain” – The Sun, August, 2007
* “Killers and pervs deported” – The Sun, July 2008
* “SUN readers are today urged to nail a rogues gallery of foreign fugitives wanted for appalling crimes in their home nations – The Sun, December , 2009
* “Home Sec Theresa May vows to end human rights farce ‘I’ll kick foreign lags out’” – The Sun, October, 2011
* “Sex beast gets boot” – The Sun , February 16, 2012
* “Four thousand foreign cons dodge boot” – The Sun, January 3, 2013
* “Biggs wasn’t a ‘loveable rogue’ he was a crook – Lorraine Kelly busts the Biggs myth” – The Sun, December 21, 2013
And then Mike Tyson wrote a book. The Undisputed Truth was published by HarperCollins (prop. Rupert Murdoch):
* “Tyson has hung up his boxing gloves but he is trying to replace his ferocious fists with a formidable new weapon — the truth” – The Sun, October, 21, 2013
* “BOXING legend Mike Tyson has admitted using a fake willy to fool drug testers. – And he confessed to being high on cocaine during a major fight in an explosive new book. In “Undisputed Truth”, published yesterday, the ex-world champ details a cocaine addiction that began when he was 11 – – The Sun, November, 13, 2013
* “Rape conviction ruins Tyson’s UK promo tour.Iron Mike refused entry to Britain” – The Sun, December 11, 2013
And this gem:
* “HOLED up in a French hotel room after being barred from Britain, former heavyweight king Mike Tyson is in fighting mood. “I’m banned — BIGTIME,” he says, with a grin that shows he still loves the notoriety that has followed him all his life… Tyson hopes to overturn the ban so he can promote his book Undisputed Truth in Britain in a series of one-man shows in March. He says: ‘The UK is where my fanbase is. Why? Because the UK is orientated to all aspects of manliness’” – The Sun, December 12, 2013
So. There you go. If you foreign lags and crims want The Sun to fight your corner, you need to get a book deal…
