4. From The Sun, yet another apology/correction for Gordon Brown wrung from its reluctant Editor:-
All of these stories (except, perhaps for the last one!) are gathering momentum and will no doubt fill hundreds of column inches for the next few days.
From me, a plea to journalists: There are more than those well-publicised 'victims' of bad journalism with a real interest in the outcome of the press-regulation debates, you know - the vast majority of the British public would be better served by a press committed to honesty, accuracy and balance.
Breathe some restorative oxygen into our ailing Democracy?
