The end result of an IPSO investigation usually sees a newspaper publishing "a clarification in a suitably prominent position" in small print between the sports headlines and the crossword.
A list of the other important cases investigated by IPSO over the past twelve months is available on their website, which includes a lot of whinging about Brexit reporting, and at least one more complaint by Megan and Harry against the Mail - in addition to the ongoing saga - which was not upheld.
There's also the case of "All Star Parrots vs Daily Star":
The article reported that a "pain-loving parrot" had taken to laughing at its owners when they were hurt. The article reported that the couple who rehomed the parrot had first noticed the behaviour when one of them had stubbed their toe and the parrot "suddenly let out a loud peal of laughter". The article reported that the couple typically fostered parrots before they moved on to another home but featured comments from one of the men explaining that the parrot was "originally going to be found a forever home after staying with us but he's settled in so well" and "so he's staying". The article reported that the man as a result "reckons" that the parrot had now found its "forever home". The article featured a superimposed image of the parrot in a flat cap and a photograph of the parrot with the man.
The complainant also said that "the article had compared the parrot to a psychotic television character by putting it in a flat cap which was not a responsible way to portray the parrot for the general public" and that a parrot didn't understand the nature of pain and was only showing learned behaviour.
These people are in denial about the true nature of parrots. COMPLAINT NOT UPHELD.
