LA Station Quietly Makes an Edit

On Thursday, FTVLive told you that KTLA Meteorologist Vera Jimenez (pictured) had accused California Gov. Gavin Newsom of accepting bribes.

It happened during some cross-talk as the station did a story on a bill signed by Newsom that allows cities and counties to ban the use of artificial grass. Some believe that the turf has cancer-causing chemicals.

Jimenez chimed in, saying, "follow the money" and accusing Gov. Gavin Newsom of accepting bribes. "If Newsom isn't getting any (money) he's probably not for it," Jimenez said.

FTVLive embedded video of the segment in our story.

But after we posted the story, KTLA went back and edited the clip to take out Jimenez’s comments about Newsom. There was no mention of the edit, and KTLA did not post any update to the story, mentioning the fact that they made the change.

It’s like it never happened.

Hmmmmmm?
