"This was unprofessional and a serious breach of journalistic ethics in crime reporting," the FCCT said. UTHAI SAWAN, Thailand -- CNN pulled a story on the massacre of Thai preschoolers and apologized Sunday over criticism its journalists entered the day care where the children were slain and filmed the crime scene without permission. That prompted criticism from the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand, which said it was "dismayed" by CNN's coverage and the decision to film the crime scene inside. "This was unprofessional and a serious breach of journalistic ethics in crime reporting," the FCCT said. The Thai Journalists' Association criticized CNN's actions as "unethical" and "insensitive," and called for an internal company investigation of the incident in addition to the official Thai probe.
