CNN Reporter Drops F-Bomb and N-Word
Double whammy, while reporting the shooting in Tulsa. Necessary? Unnecessary? Fair reporting? Curious what P&CE thinks.
Re: CNN Reporter Drops F-Bomb and N-Word
If by "drop" you mean "gave fair warning of reading material written by someone else for about ten seconds before actually uttering it," then yeah.
She's reporting what can be seen by people seeing this guy's Facebook page. Thus I'm calling a "So what?" and moving on.
you know, I understand the whole "reading the cue card stuff" and I don't necessarily disagree with it.....
There's the part where I just don't think I could utter the word. Then, there's the part that says well, if the word was the "f" word and not the "n" word, would it be repeated? No, right?
I don't know. I just hate that f'ing word.
ETA: Reading is fundamental. I just saw that it included the f word, too.
You know how we do
Scotch scotch scotch!
I don't think even as a reporter I'd be comfortable uttering that phrase at all, let alone on camera.
*snort* at the Ron Burgundy comment though.
I believe we had this conversation a week ago about some other reporter and fell on the side of 'fair reporting'.
Tourette's. Turrets are small towers. And I just think she could have used euphemisms, especially for such graphic language, whether it's on facebook or not.
I knew that didn't look right.
As far as euphemisms go, apparently some people get upset about those if I'm going by the 13+ page post we had recently.
I just wanna give a thumbs up to your Sexual Chocolate.
This was my second thought. My first was "wow, somebody had a hell of a day."
