Sun was a
American Media, Inc.
It ceased publication after the issue bearing a July 2, 2012, cover date.
Its contents often came under question and widely regarded as "
sensationalistic writing." Since a 1992 invasion of privacy case,[1] a small-print disclaimer printed beneath the masthead warned readers to "suspend belief
for the sake of enjoyment."
The paper was founded by
epidemics, and future war. Sun also featured health articles dealing with miracle cures of diseases such as chronic pain and arthritis, as well as numerous "strange but true" articles from across the country—in fact, the strange but true stories made up the bulk of the paper's content, although they were almost never featured on the front page.[2]: 40-48
Following the 2007 discontinuation of Weekly World News as a separate publication, Sun began printing a small "pull-out" insert of Weekly World News stories and columns.[3]
