Associated Press online Polanski balls-up

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

In a major screw-up, the Associated Press ran internal notes about the arrest of film director Roman Polanski instead of a story. “The document details an exchange of messages between reporters about Mr Polanski, who was held in Switzerland and faces extradition to the US,” says the BBC . The Los Angeles County district attorney’s office wants Polanski extradited from Switzerland to face charges that he sexually assaulted a 13-year-old girl three decades ago.
