7:30 Report removes filtering video from website (watch it here)
March 6, 2008 – 8:38 pmThe 7:30 Report has taken down video of their mandatory filtering story. Thankfully, I downloaded it last night and have uploaded it so you can see just how bad it really was (the transcript doesn’t do it justice).
Why did they remove it? It might be because some viewers found the dreadfully racey images shown in the clip offensive. It might also be because they’ve become aware of the numerous inaccuracies in the report, thanks to phone calls and letters from people disgusted by Mark Bannerman’s journalism skills. Whatever the case, the 7:30 Report doesn’t want you to see it.
Update March 7: The reason the 7:30 Report removed this video from there website was because of bad editing which made it look like one of the participants was showing porn to children. The 7:30 Report issued an apology at the end of Thursday nights show. Does this report get any worse?

At the end of tonight’s 7:30 Report Kerry O’Brian issued an apology to the family of the children seen in the report, apparently because it seemed from the pictures of the computer screens that the parents were allowing their children to look at porn. Perhaps the reason the video was taken down was related to that?

kwinky: Thanks. Could be.
Shame Kerry didn’t apologise for the entire report in general.

Yes, I can confirm that’s the reason. Due to really bad editing, they made it look like one of the participants eas showing porn to kids. They were quite understandably upset and got the apology they asked for.
