Media details from Tiger Woods’ apology
The folks over at TV Newser have a great wrap up of this morning’s Tiger Woods apology event. The famous golfer made a public apology today for his infidelities, but refused to take questions, saying the details of his indiscretions were a private matter between he and his wife, Elin.
Woods expressed regret and chastised the media for seeking out his wife and children. “My behavior doesn’t make it right for the media to follow my 2 1/2-year-old daughter to school and report the school’s location,” he said. “They staked out my wife and they pursued my mom. Whatever my wrongdoings, for the sake of my family, please leave my wife and kids alone.”
Other interesting details from the report:
- Two pool cameras were present and one of them malfunctioned toward the end of Woods’ statement.
- The broadcast networks conducted limited analysis: NBC finished up at 11:21; ABC wrapped up at 11:22; CBS ended coverage at 11:23; and FOX wrapped up at 11:23.
- The Golf writers association boycotted the event because Woods did not open it up to all accredited media.
