VTV was sloppy and outraged by the people, had to apologize to the Prime Minister in the night

VTV is a prestigious TV channel in the hearts of every Vietnamese people. However, recently, when receiving the broadcast of an important program on VTV1 channel, he made a mistake that caused people to boycott at the same time. Right in the night, the station had to apologize immediately.

Recently, the TV program Aspiration for Development with the theme "Vietnam's Journey of Innovation - Episode 3", broadcast at 20:10 on July 4, 2025 on VTV1 channel of Vietnam Television, suddenly made a serious mistake when recording the wrong surname of Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh. This basic mistake in broadcasting immediately spread at a dizzying speed on social networks, causing a wave of deep anger and disappointment in the audience community. Many accounts did not hesitate to leave comments expressing frustration at the negligent working attitude of a national broadcaster, which has always been expected for accuracy and reliability.

Immediately after receiving negative feedback from TV viewers, Vietnam Television (VTV) immediately apologized to the Prime Minister and all viewers. Accordingly, the station officially announced: "This is an extremely unfortunate mistake of the team implementing the program. Vietnam Television would like to sincerely apologize to Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, domestic and foreign TV viewers. We have implemented the process of dismantling the program on the platforms for editing. Along with that, the responsibility will be considered and strictly handled individuals and units for this error to occur. Sincerely apologize!".

However, this quick apology still could not completely calm the "rage" of the audience. The reason is because this is not the first time this national TV channel has made mistakes, whether intentional or unintentional, but they are all considered serious and unfortunate. The online community, with its acumen and ability to trace information, has promptly "dug up" a series of similar cases in the past, causing the image and reputation that VTV has worked hard to build so far to be significantly affected in the eyes of the public.

One of the equally shocking cases was when a VTV news published a quote of Uncle Ho's words. However, these quotations are incomplete, leading to misunderstanding or distorting the original meaning of Uncle's teachings. This incident has caused great controversy about the accuracy and prudence in transmitting historical information, especially important statements of the leader. Immediately afterwards, the station also immediately apologized and corrected this wrongdoing.

Most recently, before the incident related to the Prime Minister's surname, VTV also made a mistake in a sports news. It is information about a legendary Liverpool player who unfortunately died in a traffic accident, leaving regret for the football world around the world. However, when VTV reported, the year of death of the male player was mistakenly recorded as 2005.

This makes it extremely difficult for the audience to understand when a television station that is considered the country's leading prestige constantly makes basic mistakes in editing and moderating content – mistakes that should not have happened in the press and television industry. These successive incidents make the audience doubt the management system and content moderation process of this major TV channel.

Successive mistakes, from incorrectly recording the Prime Minister's surname, quoting Uncle Ho's words omissions to misinformation about famous football players, all reflect an alarming negligence in the current way of working of some departments at VTV. These seemingly small "grains of grit", when accumulated, have been seriously gnawing on the image and reputation that VTV has worked hard to build over the past decades.

Vietnam Television has always been a symbol of accurate, objective and reliable information for millions of domestic and foreign viewers. However, the continuous making of fundamental mistakes, especially in sensitive issues related to senior leaders or important historical and cultural information, has shaken the public's trust. The incident of incorrectly recording the Prime Minister's surname and misquoting Uncle Ho's words makes fans and viewers more difficult to understand than ever, because these are seemingly impossible mistakes for a prestigious national television agency.
