KTVU Epic fail

[jim49er]

On today’s Noon newscast on KTVU, the station claimed it had “just learned the names of the 4 pilots on board” Asiana flight 214 which crashed last Saturday. But the station was given bad information that made it all the way into the newscast. If you read the names it becomes immediately clear this is a joke, which went unnoticed by the newsroom, producers and the anchor.

Media isnt there to report facts.

Media is there to condition the people into a state of fear and making those people feel a need to be protected from all the horrible things in the world that can go wrong. It is there to advertise Govt and Corporate agendas. It is there to desensationalize the people to a Police State.

If we are looking for Responsible Journalists, I'd check out someone like Ben Swann.

Any MorAn with haff a brane should be able to figure out these names are Bogus. Luckily, Long Wang and How Long both survived the horrid crash. Yes, How Long is a Chinaman.

Lol, that's hilarious. Names are in chronological order.

[CPUd]

They appear to fiercely stand behind their claim that the names were confirmed by NTSB:

NTSB statement on erroneous confirmation of crew names
July 12

The National Transportation Safety Board apologizes for inaccurate and offensive names that were mistakenly confirmed as those of the pilots of Asiana flight 214, which crashed at San Francisco International Airport on July 6.

Earlier today, in response to an inquiry from a media outlet, a summer intern acted outside the scope of his authority when he erroneously confirmed the names of the flight crew on the aircraft.

The NTSB does not release or confirm the names of crewmembers or people involved in transportation accidents to the media. We work hard to ensure that only appropriate factual information regarding an investigation is released and deeply regret today's incident.

Appropriate actions will be taken to ensure that such a serious error is not repeated.

Really???

How do you even read Ho Lee Fuk without laughing?

[Henry Rogue]

lmao. They're wong for that one.
Sorry, could not resist.

This just goes to prove that the MSM really does just thoughtlessly regurgitate whatever some "government official" tells them ...

I know, me too. Gosh. i feel bad for it too but man are these people not very perceptive. Which itself should be an indicator as to the depth of their worth.

[kathy88]

Wrong list is wrong. The fourth pilot was Mike Hunt.

It's got nothing to with perceptiveness. It's got everything to do with the deliberate and willful supression of perception in favor of what some "government official" told them (in this case, a "summer intern," no less!).

Notice that the professional teleprompter reader went out of her way to pronounce "Ho Lee Fuk" as "Holy Fook" instead of "Holy Fuck." There is just no way that was accidental - or that it did not prompt any "hey, waitaminnit" reactions in the minds of the producers, etc.

The problem is not that they do this because they are dumb. They are not.

The problem is that they do this despite the fact that they are not dumb. That is a much bigger and more serious problem.

IOW: They know better - but they do it anyway, because the government told them so. "We're gonna repeat this as if it were serious, despite our perception that it is stupid & fake - because it is what some bureaucrat told us."

Kind of makes your signature all the more relevant wouldn't you say?

I would, indeed!

Raughing out roud!

[CaptUSA]

Anyone else here hoping that this was caused by some "Snowden-like" dude working for the NTSB?!

New Anchorman coming out sometime this fall? This would be some great product placement with all the Anchorman vids posted since. Even Bernays couldn't have scripted that one. Or maybe he could have? Either way it gets funnier the more you watch it.

Ah, now that was a proper apology. I wonder if he read it from the teleprompter.
