The best part about this is that they contacted the NTSB for confirmation on the names, and they got a summer intern who did just that. It was like a perfect storm of prank.

I read on another forum earlier that the guy at NTSB who allegedly "confirmed" the names was named Dick Hurtz - they didn't catch that either! lol

The real story here, however, has little to do with government ineptitude or racism. It has to do with fact the corporate media and its groomed and coiffured talking heads read from scripts. Much of what passes for news is in fact propaganda read directly from corporate and governmental scripts. The Edward R. Murrow style reportage is a thing of the past.

It looks like the Fox affiliate may fire the anchor. But why? She was simply doing her job – faithfully reading a script like practically every other news anchor in thew country. If the Bay TV station plans to fire her, just about every other television news station in the country should follow suit and show their script readers the door too.
