The Sun, really, was it worth the FULL FRONT PAGE

It doesn't take a lot for a newspaper to splash the latest antics of a Premier League footballer across the front page whether its Rio Ferdinands legal fees or the allegations surrounding Titus Bramble. Today however shows it must have been a very slow news day for the editor of The Sun to see fit a whole front page story of David De Gea eating a donuts and not paying for it as a worthy lead story on the front page of his newspaper.


When you see the headline "United Goalie Caught Nicking £1.19 Tesco Doughnut" you vision someone looking around for security and putting a doughnut in his pocket and running off with the swag but what actually happened was David De Gea ate a doughnut in store and left without paying for it.


On my trips to the shops I have seen people unwrapping food and drink plenty of times then leaving the wrapper on the shelf. I'm not saying its right but I don't see these stories splashed across the front page but because De Gea is a Premier League footballer its suddenly an exclusive. With everything going on in the world with recession, unemployment and even the Labour conference surely the talented journo's at The Sun could've had a better exclusive than this. I bet Steve Hawkes and Chris Pollard couldn't believe it when they saw this "story" had made the front page.
