I agree it doesn’t distract from the truth of the story (assuming they did report the story correctly). But I do think it wasn’t a good call. A journalist wants to be perceived as honest and doing this hurts that perception. And as I stated earlier, what is the point? As a viewer I’m not going to care whether the reporter is right next to the crime scene (i.e. can see the tape) or not.
