pandarilla Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Will those newspapers ever respond to this? Genuine question. Do they defend themselves? Someone should get in touch and see what they say? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 I believe that Wings have contacted them to complain about the accuracy of the article. Look out for a tiny 2 line correction buried deep on page 2 in a few weeks time. Reminds me of the joke about an apology in the sitcom Hot Metal. Some poor old sod accused of being a paedo by The Daily Crucible - someone else gets caught so his solicitor asks for compensation and an apology. Cheque arrives in post but still no apology so solicitor phones up: "You said you'd print an apology" "We did" "Where?" "Page 26. 4. Down" "A crossword clue 'He's not guilty' is not an apology" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 It's a yer da opinion but I'm firmly of the belief that a newspaper should print retractions and apologies in the same space where they made the original claim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
