LONDON — The Sun and The Times newspapers have come under fire over their coverage of the Hillsborough inquest verdict.

The Sun was criticised for failing to mention the story on its front page; The Times did not carry the story on the first edition, but was later changed to a picture of the victims' families outside the Warrington court room.

In the aftermath of the 1989 disaster, The Sun carried a front page claiming to reveal "The Truth" about the disaster that left 96 Liverpool football fans dead.

The article included claims from an anonymous policeman that fans pick pocketed dying victims, urinated on cops and that some of them beat up a policeman giving the "kiss of life", The Guardian reports.

On Tuesday, Liverpool supporters were cleared of any wrongdoing by the Warrington jury.

Following the verdict, The Sun, which since then has been the subject of a boycott by many readers in Liverpool, covered the story in the main leader saying: “The supporters were not to blame. But the police smeared them with a pack of lies which in 1989 The Sun and others in the media swallowed whole.

"We apologised prominently 12 years ago, again four years ago on the front page, and do so unreservedly again now.”

But that was not enough for many Twitter users:

Utterly disgusting, but not surprising, that both The Sun and The Times have no Hillsborough coverage on their front pages today #shame — Neil Gardner (@HokusBloke) April 27, 2016

In London, The Sun has not put Hillsborough on the front page.

In 1989 The Sun managed to squeeze Hillsborough on to the front page. Not enough space today ‘cos of Rita Ora’s legs pic.twitter.com/kXXP1U4W24 — Philosophy Football (@Phil_Football) April 27, 2016

That's a v depressing shock. The one-time paper of record sides with The Sun on Hillsborough. https://t.co/F2Ny4JoxrR — Krishnan Guru-Murthy (@krishgm) April 26, 2016
