Ten Misplaces Jesse Jackson
Over at Ten News, they were having their own little problem with people of colour, as they threw together a package for their main news bulletin soon after Senator John McCain made his gracious concession speech...
Hang on, did you recognise that black person crying among the Republican faithful in Phoenix Arizona?
Yes, it was the Reverend Jesse Jackson, Baptist preacher, civil rights campaigner, and lifelong Democrat. And of course, he wasn't in Phoenix Arizona...
According to Ten News, the editing that made it look as though Jesse Jackson was grief-stricken at John McCain's defeat was an oversight due to the extremely tight turnaround between the time the leaders made their speeches and Ten's 5pm News deadline.
