ABC Uses Hindsight on '20/20'
Report on Foods

By John Dempsey
dailynews.yahoo.com.

NEW YORK (Variety) - ABC News will deliver a rare
on-air apology for a ``20/20'' report by John Stossel
claiming that organic foods contain no less pesticide
residue than conventional foods.

The Environmental Working Group took ABC News to task over the report,
which ran Feb. 4 and was repeated intact July 7 despite the EWG protest. ABC
News said it would ``correct the mistake'' on this coming Friday's edition of
``20/20'' and that it's ``reviewing the circumstances surrounding the error.''

Coming on top of a harsh, well-publicized attack on David Westin, the president
of ABC News, in the current issue of the New Yorker, the apology continues a
run of mostly bad luck for ABC News since Westin took over the job three years
ago.
