ABC News says Sorry for Tasteless Move
When it comes to tasteless actions, you will have to go pretty low to stoop to ABC News' level.
ABC promoted on their website that you could watch live ariel footage of Robin Williams house. Williams was found dead in the home earlier in the day and his family asked for privacy. ABC did not oblige the request:
After getting lit up on social media, ABC released a statement saying what everyone else already knew. The ariel pictures of Williams' home had absolutely no news value what-so-ever.
“When we realized there was no news value to the live stream, we took it down immediately," ABC News said in a statement. “Our intention was not to be insensitive to his family, friends and fans, and for that we apologize."
