TV ONE are arseholes

I don't think it matters to be honest. Its just a numberplate. anyone who went past it would of seen the plate to.

Aired just after 6pm, my form was printed and sealed in an envelope by 10 past.

Send a similar complaint to One News's head of news. You may get action quicker than you won't get through the BSA process.

[Hitcher]

To put it bluntly they are sensationalistic lying fucking arseholes who have no interest in the truth unless it sells papers.

In this case it's TV news and no papers are involved. Rather than being "sensationalist" they're just sloppy with their editing of footage shot at the accident scene. Easter, skeleton staff, slow news day, it's probably a genuine mistake and easily done if people aren't concentrating.

At this point we could also lapse into a philosophical discussion about "what is truth"?

Correct. All broadcasters are required to have a complaints process for handling these sorts of things, then the BSA if nothing's resolved.

This is KB ... TRUTH ... ???

They just showed the plate on a crashed car and the one on the crashed bike.
Do they ever hide the plates?

And I doubt that anyone who saw it on the news or passes it can quote the plate they saw briefly unless they cheat and hop onto TVNZ website to review video footage and pause it. I also doubt that anyone who saw said plate is going to hop on line to look up details of plate.

I saw the article and thought nothing of it.
The death occured the day after the accident giving enough time to for family to be notified. I think that if you get a reply it will say the family had been notified.
None of my three sisters or indeed my parents know my bike rego.
I would venture to suggest that even Anne doesn't know my bike rego off hand.

Can anyone on here tell me the rego on my bike?
If you got a brief glimps of it on TV could you tell that it was mine?

Sums up my line of thought too..

People have also recently started writing strongly-worded letters to newspaper editors complaining about those of us who toot in the Mt Victoria road tunnel. All touch with reality such people have lost.

It plays havoc with their hearing aids ....

So why wasn't it simply pixillated out? these people do news everyday, sure it's a common thing to have some sort of consideration when dealing with any fatality???
thoughtless Arseholes would be better then eh?

They (TV) have no problems pixellating out the faces of people commiting criminal acts (ie the Great Hamilton Supermarket Midnight Heist) or car plates of paua poachers

I thought that recognising the make of bike would have more of a give away...I have now seen the rego a couple of times and still couldn't tell you what it is but the bike.....a yellow 250 Hornet?

[SMOKEU]

Most people can't even tell the difference between a Suzuki and a Kawasaki so I don't see the problem here.

Don't we have more important things to do than complain just because we don't agree with something we see on TV? Change the channel if you must.

[Elysium]

No biggie mate - most of the people on here probably don't even know their own number plates. Car plates are shown in mangled wrecks all the time.

Now wait a.....oh shit your right. What was mine again?

You're a 'tooter'?
