A Taiwan cable news channel apologized yesterday for running a photo of Queen Elizabeth II when reporting the death of Margaret Thatcher, while a Thai station showed a photo of actress Meryl Streep.
Taiwan's CTI TV, in footage Monday night, showed the queen dressed in a green coat and waving at the crowd with a caption reading "Former British prime minister Thatcher passed away, the Iron Lady is missed."
In Thailand, army-run Channel 5 TV station also apologized after it showed a photo of Streep playing Thatcher in the 2011 semi-biographical film "The Iron Lady."
