Remember, those people don't read. If they can read at all.

The "journalists" of The Sun. They are good at inventing stories, but proper journalism and background research is not exactly their strong point, to put it mildly.

That is a good question. I've read The Sun occasionally (actually mostly for school purposes, it is a good example for a low-quality British tabloid when teaching about "The Press"), and always wondered if the people who produce this can walk and breathe at the same time...

Yes. And as usual with a tabloid, they take one or two sentences from the source, and invent their own story around it.
