TORONTO — The CBC has admitted it inadvertently displayed the jacket of an anti-Sarah Palin book during a story about the former vice-presidential candidate that aired on “The National.”
The gaffe came Monday night during a piece on Palin’s hotly anticipated new memoir “Going Rogue: An American Life.”
A CBC spokesman confirmed that the network mistakenly put up a graphic depicting the cover of “Going Rouge: Sarah Palin An American Nightmare.”
The cover of the latter book, compiled by Richard Kim and Betsy Reed, senior editors at the left-leaning The Nation magazine, bears a striking resemblance to Palin’s.
Both books are hitting store shelves today.
CBC spokesman Jeff Keay says the mistake was fixed in a subsequent broadcast.
