As I mentioned in the original piece, the actual "mark-leaving" piece that went out was yanked by the AP. But WLWT's President & General Manager, Richard Dyer, has provided an apology to viewers as well as to Ms. Butler.
On Monday, July 19, language was added to a news story on channelcincinnati.com that was offensive and hurtful toward one of our staff members and was an egregious violation of the standards of this news organization. As soon as the posting was discovered it was immediately removed from channelcincinnati.com and a company-wide effort was mounted to remove all references to the story from Web search engines.That's still gonna leave a mark.This posting was the result of one individual's actions and that individual has been terminated.
We regret the trouble this has caused for the individual named and our entire staff and we apologize to viewers of channelcincinnati.com.
