You know absolutely nothing about The New York Sun. It was founded by the arch rival of Rupert Murdock, who was obsessed with Murdock's success in this country with Fox News and The New York Post, and his purchase of The Wall Street Journal. They own competing tabloids in London. He dearly wanted a presence in New York. He launched The New York Sun and named it after an old New York paper that died in 1950. The paper was definately very pro Israel, and had former staff from The Forward at the helm. They hooked in readers with very attactive front pages and extensive arts coverage. But, it was a niche demographic from the start. There is a small, but growing, number of Republicans of Jewish heritage in New York. He sought to tap into that. They gave away the paper for free on street corners. If you tried to cancel your subscription, you got it for free, too.

Interesting but not applicable. Apparently you know nothing about why the Sun .... set. You fail to post WHY the Sun ceased publication; a reason for such that I tried to offer.

Typically, your post is like other libber posts, avoiding the subject. Wanna try that again and this time cut the superfluous BS?

The conservative daily which supported Bush and his Iraq fiasco
has published its last edition. Besides supporting Bush, then paper was an avid defender of Israel and an equally avid denouncer of Iran.
The implication being, since the Sun supports conservatives, it's dieing. That's hogwash.

The death of the Sun is more than likely due to lack of financial resources to carry it through these troubled times when newspapers throughout the country are being financially hurt. Big newspapers like the New York Times, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times have had to make sever operating cuts and lay off hundreds of people and it looks like it's going to get worse for the printed news business.
