Default IPSO is a joke

The Sun has been forced to print a front-page correction over a claim that the
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was willing to join the privy council because his
party stood to benefit financially.

Accordingly, the Sun printed 11 words in the bottom left corner of the front
page of Tuesday’s edition in a space roughly 15mm by 35mm. The rest of the IPSO
adjudication appeared on page two.


I have always said that in such circumstances - the correction should take up
exactly the same space and location as the original articles.

IPSO is a joke: and of course Rupert Murdoch’s British newspaper stable was a
prime mover in the founding of it.


No problem there then.


(The fact that Murdoch is frequently in bed with either Cameron or Osborne
means it is likely that the regulation of the press will be as unregulated as
it is now, it is for some time)
