“The Sun specializes in short items unlikely to tax the mental capacities of its target audience: one-paragraph news articles, one-sentence paragraphs, one-word sentences.”

Why is it great? Well, first of all, it comes from the great Sarah Lyall, who was the longtime London correspondent for The New York Times. She has such a wonderful voice: charming, funny, intimate. This comes from her book about her years living in England (highly recommended). Here, she's talking about the down-market tabloid The Sun, famous (or infamous) for its bare-breasted "Page 3 girls." Lyall mimics the Sun's lowest-common-denominator style here in her hilarious description of its writing.
