The paper exaimes news stories regarding the Jackson case including CTV News, "Maclean's Magazine", "The Toronto Star" and the UPI News Service.

From the Paper:

"It is not uncommon to question the accuracy of the content of news reports, especially in light of recent cases of fraudulent news reporting. Not long ago New York Times reporter Jayson Blair was accused of repeatedly concocting specifics while covering the D.C. sniper story. How can a trusted professional make up information and publish it as fact? Public complaints regarding bias in the news has become a hot topic as one story after the other is found to be fraudulent (i.e. Janet Cooke of the Washington Post)."
