I remember thinking during the first report to come out of Haiti how did the reporters get in there when you just showed us a video of British rescue teams stuck at a near-by airport who have spent the day failing at getting in.
- goatforce5 17y agoAfter the Port Arthur Massacre in Tasmania, it turned out a number of journalists lied to airline staff, saying that they were relatives of some of the recently deceased so that they could get a seat on some of the limited number of flights heading from mainland Australia to Tasmania. This was exposed by a news programme, Media Watch, and (anecdotally, at least) led to the Australian airlines requiring official proof of death/illness before trying to find last-minute seats for the relatives of dead or dying people.
