KSWO in Lawton is getting a lot of attention this week after firing one of their employees because of a brain teaser she did Monday morning during the news.
Mandy Bailey was a meteorologist over at KSWO. She was fired after doing a brain teaser that someone found offensive. The brain teaser was of the word THERE, with a noose hanging off the 'T'. If you think about it, the answer is 'Hang in There', since the noose is inside the word there. Someone called KSWO to complain about this.
I do not know if they found this insensitive to suicide or if they found it racist cause they interpreted the noose as lynching. Either way, KSWO agreed with that listener and fired Mandy for her brain teaser. Let me say my opinion on this, in no way do I believe Mandy did anything wrong. I don't think she meant anything by this brain teaser. She wasn't trying to be racist or make fun of being that commit suicide. I think it was a simple brain teaser that a viewer misinterpreted and saw something that wasn't there.
You would complain if they hung you with a golden rope!
If anyone has ever wondered what a maoist 60’s-like ‘great leap forward’, complete with ‘denouncements’, and public humiliations would look like right here, you now have your answer.
If I were her, I’d find a lawyer who would work her case for nothing. Nail the poop out of the station.
At some point someone has to pay for being a coward.
Not safe to tell jokes anymore.
Ridiculous!
“Let’s hang it out to dry”
“Teenagers have been “hanging out”
since the dawn of time.
Not that long ago, TRIGGER was just the name of a horse.
It’s no wonder a host could not be found for a recent “award” show.
..or perhaps Loretta Lynch...
..no, wait......
We are being conditioned to this. One person in 300 million is all it takes to get a person fired. Imagine the power of that weapon when unleashed next election.
Women shouldn’t be hung like men.
Well. Nowadays some are.
Beaver Cleaver's family were Klansmen.
Maybe they had a history of upper case Ts being lynched in that area.
I agree with you about her “lawyering up.”
However, immediate firing was is a pretty extreme action for the station to take for what seems to be a single incident. And not much of an incident at the hat.
There is more to this story we have not been told yet.
As for the complainer, we dare not indulge them. There are jurisdictions already where using the “wrong” gender pronoun is a legally actionable offense. How long before anything a protected class finds offensive is treated in a similar fashion. Ideological totalitarianism is in the offing and, as usual, it’s source is left/liberal.

I would have thought it was a round of the old game Hangman. I guess Hangman is right out, then?
I remember in the private school I went to for elementary education, Hangman was a great game to play, and I believe Black students did participate.
I started a keyword for this thread called “unearnedpower”, because that’s what this woke, intersectional, victim crap is: people asserting unearned power over others. I got the term from advice columnist Amy Alkon, who blogs about crap like this incident.
I think any thread about woke, intersectional, victim BS like this should have the keyword “unearnedpower.” JMO.
That is so sad. I am really sorry.
There is a section of Lawton that makes MLK,Jr. Blvd in Memphis tame. I’m not surprised at this.
If there is more to the story, it will be interesting to read about it.
This isn’t surprising. We recently had Catholic students accused of the Face Crime of Inappropriate Smiles.
So where is the local call for a boycott of KSWO. Don’t watch their station and don’t go to their website. Get a list of their advertisers and let them know that you won’t be watching.
