The Aspers did it
An apology:
We reported wrongly yesterday that Lloyd Axworthy, a former Liberal
foreign affairs minister, criticized Winnipeg’s Asper family for using
its media empire to defend Israel and shape Canadian foreign policy. He
did not say that. In fact, Axworthy was referring to groups of diaspora
– various ethnic communities in today’s multicultural society –
influencing Canadian foreign policy. Where we quoted Axworthy as saying
"the Aspers," he in fact had said "diasporas." We sincerely apologize
to both Axworthy and the Asper family.
FYI The Aspers run CanWest, one of the largest media companies in Canada. They own newspapers (but not the Press), television stations, radio stations etc. in Canada and other countries.
