The KBS Labor Union (Chairman Heo Seong-kwon), who raised the point that the KBS announcer deleted and broadcast the contents unfavorable to the government and ruling party among the KBS1 radio news manuscripts, accused the KBS announcer for broadcasting the broadcast. The KBS labor union is a minority union of KBS, and the majority union of KBS is the KBS headquarters (Chairman Yoo Jae-woo) of the National Press Union.
On the 27th, the KBS Labor Union and the’Professional Solidarity Who Loves Public Broadcasting’ (hereinafter referred to as Gong Jeon-yeon) accused the announcer Kim Mo of violating the Broadcasting Act, claiming that the radio news was conducted in a biased manner.
KBS Labor Union and Gong Jeon-yeon held a press conference in front of the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office on the same day, and said, “We are accusing KBS announcer Kim Mo, who broadcasted the contents of KBS Radio News while arbitrarily revising and destroying the contents of the Broadcasting Law.”
KBS Labor Union and Gong Jeon-yeon said, “Let’s read the suspicion of the’look-at-investigation’ raised by opposition lawmakers while delivering the news of the assault of a taxi driver on the news of KBS1 Radio (97.3 MHz) at 2 pm on the 19th of last month. He said that the opposition lawmaker’s remarks were changed to’I was ill’ instead of’I claimed’.”
In addition, the KBS Labor Union said, “The opposition party’s criticism of the allegations related to apartments by Minister of Health and Welfare Kwon Deok-cheol (the candidate at the time), who was the subject of the hearing, was also randomly omitted.” The reason for the accusation was stated.
In this regard, the KBS side made a stand on the 23rd of last month and said, “In radio news, there are cases in which the announcer may omit some sentences during the broadcast without consultation with the editor so that the weather report can be broadcast at the end.”
At that time, KBS said, “We express deep regret for internal and external attempts to undermine KBS credibility,” and said, “In this matter, we are already reviewing compliance with regulations according to internal procedures and company rules such as our own review and evaluation committee.” There is a bar.
