I thought newspapers like the Daily Mirror might possibly stoop that low but not smh. Reporters making mistakes are nothing new but covering it up is disgraceful. Two years and still seeking justice. Very sad reflection on news gathering ijn general. Fairfax needs a good bollocking.

Answer 1

All newspapers lie, or shade the truth to conform to their editorial opinion, however I have never seen, nor heard of one apologizing.

Answer 2

The only way to get them to apologize is to sue them.
