The Epoch Times Chinese Television System (CTS) News and Info, Taiwan’s key broadcaster, issued an apology for a blunder that caused newsfeeds to scroll text onscreen saying the Chinese military had attacked Taiwanese cities with missiles.
On April 20, during the 7:00 a.m. morning news broadcast, text appeared at the bottom of the CTS screen declaring “New Taipei City hit by communist China’s missiles;” “Vessels exploded, facilities and ships damaged in Taipei harbor;” “The Chinese Communist Party goes to war preparedness frequently;” “President issues emergency order effective at 8:00 p.m. on March 6;” and “War threatening to break out.”
After recognizing the error, the host immediately clarified the situation and apologized to viewers. Soon afterwards, CTS apologies appeared in scroll bars on all its channels, including on YouTube, to spread the correction message…
