Sky News viewers were left ‘lost for words’ after the broadcaster’s coverage of the Justice for Chris Kaba march.
With thousands of royal fans also gathering in the streets over recent days following Queen Elizabeth II’s death aged 96, reporters mistook Kaba’s march for people paying tribute to the late monarch.on September 8, with the palace confirming she died at Balmoral Castle, surrounded by family members.
‘The weight of this historic moment has been felt here at the gates of Buckingham Palace. Thousands of people still arriving to pay their respects to the Queen’, the broadcaster said.Correcting them and expressing their shock, the person behind the video said: ‘Bruv, this is the Chris Kaba march. Yeah, look at them, they’re all Black, mate.’
Others also took to social media to express their thoughts, many branding it ‘poor journalism’ and ‘shameless’. ‘Yo @SkyNews what kinda reporting is this?? It would take mere seconds of fact checking to know this isn’t some “tribute walk”, this is community coming together for the death of yet another unarmed black man at the hands of the met police’, one wrote.‘How can u make such a mistake like this’, asked another, while a third said the coverage made them ‘sick to my stomach’.
‘There needs to be an apology for this. On TV, not just some Twitter statement. Chris Kaba’s family deserves better’, another person penned.
