ABC pulls final episode of Revelation from Iview following George Pell acquittal
In response to the High Court’s decision yesterday to acquit George Pell, the ABC has pulled the third episode of Revelation – a three part series in which Sarah Ferguson interviews a series of priests convicted of crimes against children – from its broadcast video on demand service, Iview.
The public broadcaster said the removal of the episode, which aired last Thursday 2 April to 415,000 metro viewers, is temporary, to allow it to update the contents of the episode following the court’s decision.
I think bringing the story up to date is only sensible. Future viewership needs this historic context.
That goes without saying. Not to do so would be akin to showing footage of Hitler at the height of his power but not releasing footage of Berlin, May 1945.
It’s back up.
