Photoshopped book title from Paula Broadwell's Gen. David Petraeus'
biography goes viral on web
7NEWS apologizes for showing wrong 'All In' title
7NEWS sincerely apologizes for a mistake that we aired in our
broadcast Monday, a mistake that has gone viral on the internet.
On 7NEWS at 5 p.m., the station reported on ex-CIA director David
Petraeus' relationship with his biographer, Paula Broadwell.
Broadwell earned a master's degree at the University of Denver and had
given a speech at an alumni event several weeks ago that may have
provided insight into the early stages of their relationship.
During the broadcast, 7NEWS showed an image of Broadwell's biography
of Petraeus that is called, "All In: The Education of General David
Petraeus."
However, when the 7NEWS reporter went on the Internet to get an image
of the book cover, the reporter mistakenly grabbed a Photoshopped
image that said, "All Up In My Snatch." (View image here.)
"It was a mistake," said KMGH-TV News Director Jeff Harris.
"It was a regrettable and an embarrassing error. We are mortified
this appeared during our 5 p.m. news broadcast. The editor pulled the
image of the book cover from the Internet without realizing it had
been doctored. We sincerely regret the error and have corrected the
story to avoid any recurrence of its broadcast. We are following up
internally as well to avoid a repeat of this inexcusable oversight,"
Harris said.
