In relation to the shocking closure of Newshub, in which I was utterly disgusted and upset at the time, here’s a tongue-in-cheek “Sorry we’re closed” mock graphic.

They named the wrong person as the perpetrator of the Bondi stabbings before police announced the identity of the actual person and are now at risk of being sued.

That’s not a lie. A lie is an untrue statement with an intent to deceive. Seven thought they had the right name for whatever reason but it wasn’t a lie it was a mistake.

Mistake is a massive understatement.
It was a clusterfuck of epic proportions and a failure in fact checking and accuracy, though we shouldn’t really be surprised as the network has history of similar instances.

Seven also stated that Bruce Lehrmann didn’t receive payment for his Spotlight interview.
Executive producer Mark Llewellyn told news.com.au in May that the Seven Network had not paid Mr Lehrmann for the exclusive interview.
“No one was paid,” Mr Llewellyn told news.com.au.
“7NEWS Spotlight made no payment to Bruce Lehrmann for the interview, however the program assisted with accommodation as part of the filming of the story.”

Sure but it wasn’t a lie. They didn’t deliberately make up an untruth. I’m not defending Seven at all, I’m just debunking JPA’s claim that Seven News deliberately lie.

“assisted with accommodation as part of filming the story”
I highly doubt it took them a full year to research and film that story. Living free for a year is still technically a payment, just with extra steps.
