… Media Watch accused Sydney newsreader Angela Pearman, and several other ABC newsreaders around the country, of faking that interview with John Lombard in Moscow. The allegation was repeated in our 20th anniversary special in 2009 and was until recently available on our website.
We’re now satisfied that in Angela Pearman’s case the allegation wasn’t accurate. She had interviewed John Lombard by telephone earlier that day. Her questions and his answers were recorded simultaneously in Sydney and Moscow and later edited together. Ms Pearman did not, as Media Watch alleged, deceive her audience.
Our belated apologies – better, I hope, late than never.

In a letter to the affairs council this week, Australian Broadcasting Corp. representative Kieran Doyle apologized for "this lapse in editorial standards." He advised that an editor’s note had been attached to the online transcript of the report noting the error, and that the matter also has been posted on the corrections page of ABC News…

Thanks, Steve!

In an article published on 9 July 2005, it was reported that Mr El Guerbouzi was a suspect in the hunt for those responsible for the London bombings of 7 July 2005.
In fact, Mr El Guerbouzi has never been involved in terrorist activity and has lived peacefully in North London with his family for 30 years.
The ABC apologises for any embarrassment caused.
