Hopefully this wasn’t some form of payback…
Last night Nine News Melbourne accidentally branded James Packer a “sex pest” when it ran vision of him attending a funeral with wife Erica Packer, as it was reporting on a separate, rather unfortunate, story.
And here he had been thinking that a news truck outside his apartment was the worst they could do.
Update: Apparently this mistake also aired on Nine News Adelaide on Monday:
Ugly, yes. Fatal, no. Awkward headline mix up on @9NewsAdel. #PackerGyngell pic.twitter.com/hLLenYJTmW

Maybe they really should arrange to have a paintball fight or water pistol fight from a distance after a week like this…
Or something fun they like to do. Because oops is the right word.
I now understand why Packer was so concerned about being followed around by a news truck.
Just when you thought this comedy couldn’t get any funnier
I’ve noticed 9 news melb on Friday and Saturdays always make multiple stuff ups. Much more than the other days of the week. At first it was funny, but now it’s getting annoying and unprofessional. If hitch wasn’t such a pro at hiding them there would probably be many more. That crew needs to be pull into line.
LOL. So many jokes, so little time.
WTF? Don’t call him a ‘sex pest’ because this can cause so much misogyny. That’s lying Channel Nine.
A classic. Another punch-up due? Speaking of gaffes, TEN’s News claimed “..at the funeral of Peter Ramsay”. Actually it was Paul Ramsay’s funeral. Prime TV chief. Peter is Paul’s (living) brother.
lucky that the family dont own the network anymore
Oh no! Surely unintentional, but if their rematch is all over the news again we will know why….now where’s my camera, might do a Melbourne to Bondi road trip :p
Accidentally ?
I see another fight coming LOL
I reckon no accident and very clever.
