During the start of the Iraq war The Mirror ran a a story about some innocent civilians being killed by a stray bomb and printed next to it a picture of the supposed aftermath. My eagle eyes had spotted the same picture in a TV documentary a week previously and it was actually the result of an Iranian missile attack many years before. My Dad phoned the paper to complain and they admitted that it wasn't recent but that the hadn't done anything wrong as it was merely for 'illustrative purposes.'
