TBS was accused of failing toprotect its sources in October 1989, when it taped an interview withTsutsumi Sakamoto regarding his investigations into theAum Shinrikyo sect. The network secretly showed a video of the interview to Aum members without Sakamoto's knowledge. Aum officials then pressured TBS to cancel the planned broadcast of the interview, but Sakamoto, his wife and child were murdered by Aum members on 3 November.[22]
