Nine's news chief John Westacott was pretty upset at the news feed being cut calling it an "outrageous act of censorship". He admits that, "we were asked not to use the worm, that's correct, and we didn't agree with any of the conditions that were laid down by the press club."
All the same knowing the conditions and flouting them was pretty childish if you asked me and as far as I was concerned the worm was pretty bloody useless and detracted from the debate. If I had known the debate was on channel 2 I would have changed the station.
