Oops. Seven report on bridal mishap is 2 yr old story
News bulletins are guilty of running stories they haven't realised we've heard before.

Seven News this week ran a story about a new bride nearly drowning after diving into water, dragged down by the weight of her dress.
Except the story was first reported back in 2015.
Seven was contacted for comment.
On Monday Media Watch noted Nine News had recently reported on a drug meth lab found near a childcare centre.
But that story was actually five years old.
First in Nine five years late #MediaWatch @ABCTV https://t.co/5It6E1mp46 pic.twitter.com/7ktoVSZr7a

Media Watch has just acknowledged this story and website on the show just moments ago. Well done
Came here to say same thing. Respect dude!
Thanks. A nice nod.
This sort of thing is one of the reasons why I don’t watch the increasingly inaccurately-named “news” on either Seven or Nine.
I would have thought there was enough happening in the world without rehashing old stuff!
Desperate to fill an hour a day of dumbed down news and have to resort to recycling it from the past.
Or cross promoting the scourge of TV – their reality shows.
