With a single paragraph, newspaper retracts key Murdoch allegation

One the most serious allegations made during the  tabloid scandals has been  that Murdoch's tabloid The Sun had procured medical records of a Prime Minister's son without authorization. Today the liberal London  newspaper The Guardian, which originally trumpeted the allegation on  its front page, today carried a  single paragraph retraction on Page 36. Liberals are always quick to scoff at Fox's claim to be  "fair and  balanced."  The words pot,  kettle and black  come to mind.
