Sun (supermarket tabloid)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sun is a supermarket tabloid owned by American Media Inc.

Its contents have often come under question and has been widely regarded as "sensationalistic writing." Since a 1992 invasion of privacy case, a small-print disclaimer printed beneath the masthead has warned readers to "suspend belief for the sake of enjoyment." It specializes in recurring stories on Bible prophecy, Nostradamus, global warming, the apocalypse, epidemics, and future war. Sun also features health articles dealing with miracle cures of diseases such as chronic pain and arthritis.

Sun photo editor Robert Stevens became the first victim of the 2001 anthrax attacks. He died as a result of a letter sent to the offices of American Media, the parent company of Sun, The National Enquirer and other supermarket tabloids.
