The Sun has received complaints following a headline stating that a child could be "The spawn of Satan" which could very likely prompt a knuckle dragging style witch hunt.

Idiotic reporting. But I guess it's to be expected. My only surprise is that The Mail didn't get involved.

When the Sun was available to read for free online, I used to browse the comments made by readers below the stories, and they were truly frightening. Every time the paper ran some sensationalist claptrap, especially about immigrants claiming benefits, the hatred it stirred was bordering on the socially irresponsible. The Sun know they are doing it, as it sells papers, but also directly contributes into stirring idiots into hatred and violent acts.
