US President Barack Obama has been accidentally portrayed as a suspect in a sex case by a local TV channel, according to the media.
As the Fox 5 San Diego anchor was explaining during a news broadcast that the man accused of rape on the San Diego State University campus will not be charged, a picture of Obama, titled “No charges,” appeared on screen. According to the Times of San Diego, Fox 5 assignment editor Mike Wille said that the mistake was immediately noticed in the newsroom, and that it was an accident.
The TV channel offered no on-air acknowledgment or apology regarding the incident, as, according to Wille, “they really don’t do that when it’s a small thing like that,” the newspaper adds.
