Mail website apologises for incorrect caption

The Mail website published this apology to Michael Mates on 21 June:

An article published on MailOnline on 2 July 2010 included a photograph of former MP Mr Michael Mates which was wrongly captioned “Downfall: Former Tory Northern Ireland Secretary was forced to resign after he was paid cash for House questions”. We would like to clarity [sic] that Mr Mates was not forced to resign and nor was he paid cash for House questions. We apologise to Mr Mates.

  1. So.....Completely,100% made-up then? The Mail prints more apologies than stories.

  2. They took their time on this one! And it's interesting that they've stopped putting apologies in the US section of their site.
