message: Anyone reading this article would think the HS was one of the greatest cultural contributions ever made in Melbourne. What's with this "Acclaim" section? Why is the fact that it sponsors a bike tour mentioned in such prominence? Where is the comparison with its competitors? What's going on here: "The Herald Sun strengths are its clear writing style, relevance to its readership, extensive sports reporting and a general lack of pretension." Can someone get in there and give this the NPOV treatment? Thanks! Stevage 13:27, 21 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article too biased 

message: the list of jounralists section needs to expanded from just a handful of editorial writers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.105.15.241 (talk) 09:10, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it has already expanded far too far. The list of "Notable" journalist needs to tell me why they are notable. Only one has a citation, and he's dead! OK, those with their own Wikipedia articles can be counted as notable, but someone with no separate references at all is effectively a nobody. HiLo48 (talk) 23:30, 6 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I am trying not to make this comment biased, but the corinella page in the Saturday edition deserves a mention, if not an article.

message: Adam Carr has been deleting references to the Herald-Sun as a conservative newspaper; he writes: "What is your evidence that the HS has a formal alliegance to "Conservatism"? Australia doesn't even a Conservative Party. this is purely your opinion, and I will go on reverting it". Dissembly 03:19, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  "The Herald Sun" as a conservative newspaper 

message: This section on the Hun's support for gun-control seems to have been accorded a very large space, with an oversized image. I am no blind supporter of the Hun, but criticism of the paper's coverage of this single issue, which is largely uncontroversial outside the small Australian pro-gun lobby is disproportionate. Critiques of general style or allegations of widespread hypocrisy would be different, but surely we can't detail criticisms of each article on which anyone has ever had a grievance. Any ideas anyone?--Spamburgler 09:18, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Weapons section 

message: The section titled Liftouts, sections and features is currently tagged for clean-up, but should be deleted. It's just an advertisment for the paper, it's unencyclopaedic, it's endlessly long, and you can get that information from the publisher's website, so it doesn't need to be in Wikipedia. I suggest the entire section be deleted. --Lester2 22:37, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. In addition to the reasons given by Lester2, I'll note that most papers change these routinely and they are likely to become out-of-date quickly as a result.  ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 22:48, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

text: Probably should keep a little write up of major sections and features, and the fact that they routinely produce them. --121.220.78.249 (talk) 10:03, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Section: ''Liftouts, sections and features'' should be deleted 

message: I don't see the relevance of John Pilger opinion of Andrew Bolt. Surely if it were of any use it would be on the Andrew Bolt's page and not the newspaper in which he writes for.
"(John Pilger has described Bolt as "the lowest of journalism's low, an extreme right wing and aggressively idiotic member of Murdoch's dominant press group in Australia")
I suggest the comments be deleted.
--121.220.78.249 (talk) 10:03, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Bolt is a figurehead for the Hun and probably the journalist who is most publicly known for strongly and clearly representing the paper's right wing position on many political issues. He is not a figure in the political centre. It is therefore valuable to have a quote that demonstrates that reality. HiLo48 (talk) 03:03, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: John Pilger's view of Andrew Bolt

message: I would like to expand the history section of the Herald Sun page. There is some interesting detail about the founder and the arrival of Keith Murdoch that, I think, gives a better picture of the early years of the paper. I used to work for News Corp but was made redundant in August 2021, so  I am no longer being paid by them to write, but I have collected some stories about the paper. They will all be properly footnoted and referenced, but I invite any comment or helpful hints anyone might have. Troyantonius (talk) 02:36, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
