FCC says it’s ok if your heart s in the right place - cf. David Ortiz, Boston Red Sox
The state of “Journ-O-Lism” in the US!
Dude, go back to WVA and get a degree in “hard science studies”.
I think he said he was having a ‘sucking fit’, but my hearing ain’t so well.
A good rule of thumb is that if you have a camera pointed at you or a microphone in front of you, never say anything you wouldn’t want made public. Time and time again, people get caught saying or doing embarassing things because they thought the camera or microphone wasn’t on.
