The dominant meaning of this article is that hillsborough was the polices fault, this is shown in the tittle "the real truth" also the bullet point that says "cop smeared Liverpool fans to deflect the blame" this shows that the police put the blame on the Liverpool fans when it was actually their fault.
The negotiated meaning is that police could have helped the Liverpool fans that died, but the Liverpool fans could have helped themselves by not getting into that situation in the first place as it has resulted in the death of 96 people.
The oppositional meaning is that it was the fans fault for the death of those 96 people and the police were just trying to do their job, the fans should have behaved in an adult enough manner and not bundled.
