Secret Media Partner In Controversial Pub
Though the actual incident occurred outside the pub's premises, the pub owners were considered parties to the crime because they permitted children to hang out there. While the case is still being investigated, a fascinating parallel story emerges. Almost all news outlets and websites reported the incident without mentioning the pub's name. However, one mainstream news outlet continued to focus on the sexual incident and the victim, but not on the tavern.
The pub's name was not even recorded by the channel. Knowing this, the owner of the channel called the crime reporter and chastised him for sparing the pub when it had committed a crime. To this, the crime reporter explained that he was told not to mention the pub's name since he is a partner in the firm by a popular news anchor from the same tv station. The proprietor of the channel was taken aback by this and expressed his unhappiness. The disappointment stems from the fact that he was unable to disguise the name of the pub in the news report, as well as the fact that his employee is a partner in a thriving firm.
