Actually, I have in a scrapbook a retraction that the National Enquirer ran years ago. They had run a story alleging actor Ed O'Neill ("Al Bundy" from Married...With Children) was cheating on his wife with a woman that, the Enquirer conceded, he had never even met once in his life. The funny thing was the way the retraction was written; the words were couched as if they had just received new information, and were "happy to report" that O'Neill's marriage was not in trouble at all!
Can you say sleaze?
It appears to me the Denver Post is making the Enquirer look good.
