Message: [QUOTE="Super Freak, post: 2689970, member: 8536"] 60 Minutes executive producer Tom Malone told The Daily Telegraph that the decision not to approach Smith was made out of respect to McKinnon and his family who were telling their story publicly for the first time. “60 Minutes chose not to contact Cameron Smith before our story went to air, because this was Alex’s story, told by Alex and his family and friends,” Malone said. “The facts of the story are not in dispute, and the opinions expressed are those honestly held by Alex and his family.” Malone said 60 Minutes’ priority was to McKinnon, his family and girlfriend Teigan Power. “This was the first time Alex and his family got to hear each other talk about some of their darkest moments, including the moment Alex wanted to end his life,” Malone said. “They are a loving and protective tight-knit unit _ everything a family should be _ and we are proud to have told their story. “We have offered Cameron Smith the chance to be interviewed for this Sunday’s program, but he has declined our offer.” [URL]http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/sport/nrl/minutes-didnt-approach-cameron-smith-to-respond-to-alex-mckinnons-criticism/story-fni3fbgz-1227431208471[/URL] [/QUOTE]
