BBC apologises for interview with Booker impostor
The statement said that the BBC had apologised to Booker and that the company was looking into “what went wrong” to ensure it does not happen again.
The interview aired once, live at 3 pm Eastern and mostly in the United States and a few other places around the world, a spokesman for the BBC said Thursday. A second edition of “Newshour,” which airs at 4 pm, was also broadcast in the United States and around the world, but without the interview, he said.
Booker’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment Thursday.
