1273: False Positive
Yamiche Alcindor, PBS NewsHour, Jacob Blake Reporting Error
PBS NewsHour correspondent Yamiche Alcindor erroneously referred to the "death" of Jacob Blake during a broadcast. While Blake was shot by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin, he survived the encounter, unlike George Floyd. The error went uncorrected by anchor Judy Woodruff, leading to criticisms of bias and declining editorial standards at the public broadcaster.
