About politicians: In my native Finland a big daily newspaper wrote last weekend that over 90% of the members of Finnish parliament are egoistic corrupted idiots. On Monday the speaker of the parliament asked politely the paper to apologize. The editor in chief agreed, so on Friday they published the story again, this time not calling anyone an idiot:
We apologize the way we insulted our parliament members in an article last weekend. Due a computer error the title of the article in question was accidentally published as exact opposite to what we wanted to say. The real title should have been "Almost 10% of the members of the parliament are not egoistic corrupted idiots".
