I wonder if it really was an intern, I think they just said it was an intern so they wouldn’t get as much slack. I just think it was a normal reporter who got the names, didn’t even read the pilot’s names and ran it to the producers where they didn’t read the names either. They just blamed it on a nameless intern. Thats my conspiracy theory!
I find it hard to believe no-one vetoed this information before it went to air. Radio stations who have talk-back use a 7sec delay for a good reason. I think it’s very picular a TV station would not have protocols in place to check information (regardless of what that is), before going live.
Maybe they do and someone screwed up.
Reminds me of the tales we used to be feed a few years back by site owners who had obviously scrapped content and were busted. Their excuses were similar blame game lines: I just hired a content writer and he’s responsible for adding that yadda yadda yadda. It wasn’t me!
