"It was a mistake not to disclose the payment to our viewers," says ABC spokesman Jeffrey Schneider. "We've instituted a policy going forward that if someone is a subject of a story and there's any arrangement made to license material from them, that will be disclosed to our viewers." Schneider would not comment on the propriety of the payment itself, which some ABC staffers found appalling. Wash Post and CNN "Reliable Sources" Howard Kurtz on ABC's $200,000 2008 payment to jailed Florida kid murderess Casey Anthony for photos and videos of dead daughter Caylee that aired on GMA and "20/20."
Ironically ABC never did get an interview.
Really ABC, come-on, please wash your hands before coming back to the table will ya!
