New Brunswick Daily apologizes to PM Harper

National Post has this item which made me feel good. Now, how about CBC, CTV and the other MSM doing the same. A New Brunswick daily newspaper issued a front-page apology Tuesday for a July 8 story that claimed the prime minister pocketed a communion wafer during the state funeral for former governor general Romeo LeBlanc. The Saint John Telegraph-Journal apologized to Prime Minister Stephen Harper for the story which the newspaper said "was inaccurate and should not have been published." The story created a national controversy that lasted for several days while Harper was attending a G8 gathering in Italy and preparing to meet the Pope. apology from paper

    "Say It Ain't So, Joe!"(reference Shoeless Joe Jackson on fixing a baseball game). Who is this editor and was there any monetary benefit to the "fix". Maybe the editor was just performing a a service to Canada - altruistically of course. If you can't believe your lying eyes who can you believe. Newspapers are going down the toilet because of this insertion of fiction instead of fact in news stories.
