Interesting. The Wiki "reliable sources" discussion linked to in that article is a good read. I particularly liked this story:

https://www.theguardian.com/media/greenslade/2011/dec/09/pcc-dailymail

And this quote from it:

"The newspaper apologised for the mistake. It said that it was standard practice in such high-profile cases for two alternative stories (plus supporting quotes) to be prepared in advance".

The following part of the statement was "well he did it tae" - playground stuff.

".... prepared in advance, and cited the fact that other news outlets had also initially published the wrong verdict due to some confusion in the courtroom."

FFS what a pathetic rag.
