Some of the people who signed this pledge also signed these pledges...
I've sent mine. Feel free to send yours.
My complaint dealt primarily with the Sun's misleading use of poll data. Yours may focus on something else.
Oh, and do provide links when you send your complaint. Most relevant Sun links are available in recent entries at Bloggerheads
FYI: http://www.pcc.org.uk/complaint/faq.asp
"Unless there are very exceptional circumstances the Commission will only consider complaints from those directly involved."
I *am* the person directly involved in the report. Me and about 60 million other people. Terrorism (and its exploitation) threatens us all. The Sun also attempted to undermine the democracy that protects me, by having their readers lobby MPs on a false prospectus and by eroding the public's faith in our elected representatives by labelling them 'traitors'.
(You may, of course, choose to take a different approach.)
