British paper apologizes to Melania Trump, pays 'substantial damages' over article
"We apologise unreservedly to The First Lady and her family for any embarrassment caused by our publication of these allegations," the newspaper wrote Saturday. "As a mark of our regret we have agreed to pay Mrs. Trump substantial damages as well as her legal costs."

"We accept that Mrs. Trump was a successful professional model in her own right before she met her husband and obtained her own modeling work without his assistance, " the Telegraph said.
The newspaper also said she did not leave her design and architecture course at her university because of anything to do with completing her exam, as alleged in the article, "but rather because she wanted to pursue a successful career as a professional model."
The apology also stated that the future first lady met Donald Trump in 1998, not in 1996, as it had published, and also wrongly claimed that her mother, father and sister had relocated to New York in 2005 to live in buildings owned by Trump. "They did not," the newspaper said.

Good for them for actually "Manning up" for a "Fucked up fake article" !
Now when will these U.S. media companies do the same for their "Screwed/skewed News" !
And damages:
"The Telegraph agreed to pay U.S. First Lady Melania Trump “substantial” damages after running an article in its magazine a week ago that it said included “a number of false statements” and shouldn’t have been published."
