KTVU erroneously reports Asiana Flight 214 pilot names
http://zanylol.com/pilot.html ^

Posted on 07/14/2013 7:11:15 PM PDT by navysealdad

Co-anchor Tori Campbell told viewers during the noon newscast Friday,"KTVU has just learned the names of the four pilots who were on board" the flight that crashed at San Francisco International Airport a week ago. She proceeded to read from a teleprompter the names that may have originated as a racially insensitive joke online — "Sum Ting Wong," "Wi Tu Lo," "Ho Lee Fuk," and "Bang Ding Ow"— while a TV graphic displayed the names next to a photo of the charred cabin.

Again?
Didn’t they do that a couple of days ago?

You would think they’d have figured it out by now.

Since it’s been reported all over the world for the last couple days.

Actually it was Captain Sum Ting Wong....What a great punking this was, and who better to be punked than Mediots. I am still laughing my head off over this...

I posted this a few days ago and my post was taken down. I thought I did something wrong.

You would think that there would have been someone at the TV station that would have had this conversation.
Manager with half a brain: "Hey, Sum Ting Wong!"
News reporter: "Oh, you know the guy?"
Manager: "No, No! Ho Lee Fuk! You got punked! No way were going to put this on the air.
Reporter: You know him too?

But no one with half a brain works there.

It would’ve been better delivered with the excruciatingly careful and lovingly enunciated MSM gravitas of Dan Rather. Bong Deeng Ooow.

I watched it too. What a bunch of idiots. I think it is great to see the Media take a huge hit in their credibility.

Barry would comment on it, but he’s too busy eating an order of Cream of Sum Yung Gai.

I feel sorry for this poor girl. Her career will probably be ruined. And of course it was hurtful and in bad taste to make a joke about something like that.
But I also kept thinking of the running gag on the Simpsons where Bart and Lisa phone the tavern with requests to page imaginary people and the bartender fell for it every time.
