SEATTLE (AP) - A Seattle TV station has fired an editor after airing video footage of President Donald Trump[1]’s Oval Office address on immigration that appears to be altered.
The Seattle Times[2] reports that FOX affiliate Q13 broadcasted video from the Tuesday night speech that showed a more orange-toned Trump[3] with his tongue hanging out languidly of his mouth after making a statement.
The video’s filtered colors look more saturated and the tongue appears doctored.
Q13 news director Erica Hill said: “This does not meet our editorial standards and we regret if it is seen as portraying the president in a negative light.”
Hill also confirmed on Thursday that the station investigated the incident and fired the editor involved.
Trump[4] in his televised address had urged for border wall funding amid the federal government shutdown that’s lasted nearly three weeks.
