Must have had a lot of heat put on the station, the old fire an intern trick didn’t satisfy them.

“That poor lady is catching some serious sh!t”

After a job like that, her career can’t go anywhere but up!

I don't think Al Jazeera would be interested. They may be extremely biased and evil but man do they have a slick operation. AJ English makes Fox,CNN, etc look like a bunch of hick town AM radio stations.

Did we ever figure out who wrote the names? Many of us here could craft such a list, however.

But how did it get distributed to the TV Station? Fax, blog, fake press release, twitter etc.?

Recalls the time when award winning “journalist” Dan Rather after weeks of stonewalling defending the Kinko’s Bush sensation finally admitted that (paraphrasing) “I only read the news”! “Newsreaders” is what they call them in the UK.

Don’t know how they got the list but SOMEONE should have started laughing along the food chain before Miz Campbell started reading on air...I’m sorry but it makes them all look like idiots. I don’t care if she’s reading a teleprompter or not! Come on man!....Wi Tu Lo?

But they’re not firing the one who actually read the names live on air?......................

1)They have too much invested in promoting her
2)On-air is a union gig

In reality EVERYONE ought to be fired, as it reveals not one functioning brain cell in the building.

I’m going to guess the three producers found the names on the web and found them to be hilarious as we did.

So they passed them along to continue the prank. Some on-air decision maker did not recognize the prank and called the NTSB, who confirmed them as that person was also not prank aware.

There you have it, classic double failure.

The rest is history.

Asiana Airlines deserves shame by mockery, for this avoidable event. No guilt here.

Does the Regime run this TV station like they do the White House? The ones responsible skate? Like Benghazi and OBayMe and the Clintoon broad?
