Maybe not job prospects but there is now a large portion of people who haven’t heard the context (and never will) and now see Basil as this sexist from this and think he was referring to the women as reserves.

Again, not mutually exclusive to 6 News - the clip is still widely available and being reported online.

People will also draw their own conclusion as well, whether they buy Basil’s explanation is up to them.

That’s just the nature of the world we live in now.

Nine - including WWOS and SMH - posted the clip and credited a Twitter user who actually posted it before us, last I checked that got a few hundred likes

We literally did this as well the moment the facts became clear, and again, 10 seemed to have the full feed unlike us but chose not to use it!

Everyone can make plenty of comments now but the fact is a lot of people in my position seeing the original feed would have absolutely not realised there was a whole previous conversation because it really didn’t look apparent

As I’ve said more than once now, we’re reviewing our practices

You are definitely not alone in doing it.  
To me it speaks to a disconnect between 9/10’s websites/socials posting it and their TV news reporting. I’d be intrigued to know whether they spent their reporters on the ground before posting it.  
They’re a lot more siloed than you’d expect in a newsroom and this isn’t the first time web departments have gone a little rogue without context.

Well, doesn’t this underscore the importance of understanding the context first?

Time to take the L on this one and move on.

Ah yes, the West Australian, that bastion of journalistic integrity.

6 News made a mistake on this one but the West is hardly in a position to pull rank.

I hope this isn’t another “gotcha” attempt from 6 News without knowing the context.

@Leo_Puglisi6 i would recommend watching last nights report, as it explains that detectives are now under the impression that the alleged murderer may have been operating the phone on Tuesday night.

Can’t read the rest, did he join or not?

Either way, congrats @Leo_Puglisi6 on being approached. Probably means your becoming sort of a player in the media industry.
