Chinese reporter faked 'chemical food' footage

A Chinese TV journalist has been arrested for faking a report which purported to show street vendors filling meat buns with chemical-soaked cardboard. The story, supposedly shot with a hidden camera, caused widespread shock. But Beijing Television have now apologised to viewers, saying the reporter, Zi Beijia, "used deceptive means." It is claimed that Zi supplied ingredients to migrant workers to make the buns. He told police he had been under pressure to produce a story. (Via Washington Times)
