Guardian apologises to the Sun over Gordon Brown story
The Guardian has apologised to the Sun for reporting that it accessed Gordon Brown's son's medical records.

The Guardian had claimed the Sun hacked into Fraser's records before reporting he had cystic fibrosis.

The Sun said its source was the father of another child with cystic fibrosis who heard the news "on the grapevine".

"In fact the information came from a different source and the Guardian apologises for its error," the paper wrote in its corrections column.

In associated claims I'll be interested to see how The Mirror backs up the 9/11 claim which seems a bit airy fairy at present.
