Sun apologizes to George Soros for Ezra Levant column

The Toronto Sun on Saturday published this statement:
"On September 5, 2010, a column by Ezra Levant contained false statements about George Soros (pictured) and his conduct as a young teenager in Nazi-occupied Hungary.

"Upon receiving a letter of complaint from Mr. Soros’s legal counsel on September 13, 2010, Sun Media Corporation always intended to publish a retraction and apology for this column. Despite constant efforts on both sides, Sun Media and Mr. Soros’s counsel were unable to reach agreement on the content of a retraction.

"The management of Sun Media wishes to state that there is no basis for the statements in the column and they should not have been made.

"Sun Media, this newspaper and Ezra Levant retract the statements made in the column and unreservedly apologize to Mr. Soros for the distress and harm this column may have caused to him."
