News anchor doesn't know he's on air *nsfw

Wow, how did either one of them get a job?
To be fair, I think someone off camera interrupted the chick which is why she got all tongue tied. Well, that and the fact that her new co-anchor's first on-camera words were "Fuckin Shit!" She did have quite a lisp, though.
 
In a related derail, is the "Teh Fuck are you doin??!!" lady still working?

and holy cow it's hard to watch freshman news crew. I wouldn't be much better though so I understand how hard it is to "Act" for the camera.

Well, she also talks like she has braces on or something. And even before the dumb ass co-anchor opens his mouth she's fumbling over her words.
 
I feel bad for the guy. Apparently he wasn't saying "gay," he was trying to pronounce the name of the London Marathon winner (Tsegaye Kebede). He continued to try to pronounce it while the woman was talking. It was the second story he read.

So basically he was freaking out because he was going to be on the air in seconds and he couldn't pronounce this guy's name. He got fired because overly sensitive people were bothered by harmless words.

Yeah, he sucked, but everyone starts somewhere. He started in the minor leagues of the minor leagues of TV news. There's really nowhere for him to go from there.

He got fired because of FCC regulations and he's a horrible news anchor. Also, I'm sure the TV station loves paying the fines for the fuck-wit 😀.
 
Can't expect much from our small town news affiliates.

"Larry Smith's cow dies of natural causes, more at 11!"

Then we go visit the "big city" and it's 20 minutes of murders/robberies and 10 minutes of bad shit the government is doing.
 
How did this fucking dumbass get a degree in broadcasting/journalism or an anchor job for that matter? Sucking fucking cock? He probably got the fucking connections. Completely fucking unprepared and unprofessional. He deserved to get his fucking ass fired.

I agree, I feel bad for him. But how dare we wait until the facts come out first (he was trying to pronounce a guy's name), INTERNET MOB JUSTICE FTW!

The "fuckin shit" was pretty damn funny though.
 
I have been in West Virginia for a few years now and I still have to watch my mouth every now and then. I forget sometimes they don't take kindly to me dropping g-d's and interchanging the word "um" with "fuck".

I worked with a Surgeon from Philly for a month and we bonded over the fact that we could curse like sailors.

Amazing people down here. Can barely get a college education or keep themselves from getting preggo under the age of 18.. but have a potty mouth and you are in the bad.
 
But everyone in broadcasting knows not to curse when you are miked, because you never know.
lol this, you would think they could have enough constraint to avoid that.

Nobody will beat Germano Mosconi though, ever. Too bad you can't understand it, that guy yelled blasphemy all the time because his colleagues made him angry on purpose, by doing noise or making the news difficult to read or walking around. On air he was always very calm though, someone internal published the off-air segments.
if anyone knows italian (actually it's more venetian than italian): http://youtu.be/vYu26gLtMPs

He knew he had screwed up. What an idiot, that language shouldn't be at work anyway whether on camera or not.
