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."
"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.
