Embarrassment for the Daily Record
It transpires Firsat Dag wasn't an illegal immigrant after all. We've been printing blatant mistruths all week. Now we look like imbeciles.
I can't understand it! He was fleeing the Turkish government, so I logically thought it would be sensible to ask that same government about what sort of person he was. Who'da thunk they might lie!
Well, we may have harmed our credibility. We'd better get this next story right. Apparently some black person's been killed in the American south.
Ooo, I'll get the KKK to give us a character reference for him!
