THE BBC was today under fire after reporting Liverpool fans caused the Hillsborough disaster. A report on Radio One’s lunchtime Newsbeat programme yesterday said the tragedy was caused by “too many Reds supporters getting into one part of the stadium”. The report was changed for the teatime report after the glaring blunder was spotted. In a statement a BBC spokesman said: “On Newsbeat at 12.45pm we broadcast an item on the Hillsborough disaster in which 96 people were killed. “We said an official report blamed Liverpool supporters for too many fans getting into one part of the stadium that day. “This was wrong and we would like to apologise to listeners offended by our report and for this error.” Liverpool Post & Echo >>
