Denver’s Channel 7 “mortified” over Petraeus story goof
By Joanne Ostrow
Monday during the 5 p.m. newscast, Denver ABC affiliate KMGH-Channel 7 committed what news director Jeff Harris called “an embarrassing mistake” and one that’s too risque to repeat in a family newspaper.
The station showed a digitally redesigned graphic of the cover of the Petraeus biography, “All In.” The title was, um, rewritten.
An editor grabbed the wrong image online, Harris said. The fake image was not created locally. The reaction from viewers was minimal (“my wife called me”), but took off in the blogosphere. Harris declined to discuss whether disciplinary actions had been or might be taken, except to say, “when we make mistakes we take them seriously.”
Some levity.

"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."
