ABC apologises for phrasing used in reporting asylum seekers' claims
Mark Scott has to resign if for no other reason but for his claim PM 3/2/14 insisting that the video ''evidence'' vindicated them. This is /was plainly not true - and merely common sense will vitiate these claims.
It gets worse: the next day PM 4/2 Scott gave a mealy - mouthed, generalized, waffled rare ABC apology. Nowhere is any admission that the video was plainly no evidence per se!
If Scott thought it reasonable to keep his job re his former claims - he must resign because he failed again in the latter. Indeed – made it worse.
And understand there are many other issues. Complete basic analysis will further lacerate Scott and his attempts at supporting the untenable. Vindicating the asinine. Sustaining the proletariat view! Too many items to allow Scott to remain.
Bring back Jonathan Shier
By the way: why has the attack on Israel on PM [3/2 from memory] been deleted from ABC archives?
Indeed - Much of the recent archives have been deleted!

''MARK SCOTT: No, no, I don't think we did pre-judge it Mark. I think the allegations had been widely reported all across the Australian media. Then the videotape came to light, and clearly, that videotape coming to light led to further questions, further allegations, further questions about what had happened on those boats. And what the ABC has been doing is pursuing that story.

We've continued to pursue it. We've never said that we know the answer to it. We've said that they are serious allegations. What takes place under the Australian flag on the high seas is clearly a matter of public importance. And it clearly has been important for us to continue to investigate this story.
And part of the, my frustration I must say, is that there are some out there in other media outlets who seem to be suggesting by the fact that the ABC has raised these very important allegations and bought the evidence that some people have presented to us and put that in the public domain, we are somehow saying that's the end of the story. We've been saying it's the beginning of the story.

The statement concedes wording needed to be more precise and expresses regret if the reporting was misleading.
