CNN apologizes for entering Thailand mass shooting site, removes report from website
Fox News
CNN apologized for "distress" it caused and deleted a report after Thailand officials blasted the network for entering a crime scene without proper permission.
The TJA said CNN’s action "amounts to an intrusion of a major crime scene," and calling it a "seriously flawed decision that no professional media should have taken." It also accused CNN of airing graphic images "without a clear appeal to the public interest that may cause distress to the audience," and setting a "dangerous precedent" for other media personnel to breach ethics and privacy concerns to secure exclusive scoops.

The Foreign Correspondent’s Club of Thailand also scolded CNN, saying the conduct was "unprofessional and a serious breach of journalistic ethics in crime reporting."
