Over the weekend, the Telegraph-Journal issued a second apology for its story about the Prime Minister’s wafer consumption.

Doug Finley wants to know who might’ve whispered sometthing to the Telegraph-Journal.

CTV’s Bob Fife reported last night that it was a Liberal source who tipped off the Telegraph-Journal publisher to the wafer story.

CBC confirms that Shawna Richer, the Telegraph-Journal’s editor-in-chief, has been fired and James Irving is no longer publisher. CTV says Irving has been “temporarily suspended.” And Canwest reports the Prime Minister was not pursuing the matter legally.

The Telegraph-Journal retracts its wafer story and apologizes to the Prime Minister. And then apologizes to its own reporters.
