Worst. TV. Fail. Ever.

Our very own Channel 7 news gets the award for the worst tv fail.


Today in adventures in television news: graphics gone wrong. An ABC affiliate in Denver, Colo., said it was a “mistake” to run an image of Paula Broadwell’s David Petraeus biography that listed the title as “All Up In My S*****” during a story on the former CIA director’s extramarital affair.

The image appeared during Monday’s evening news broadcast. The book’s actual title, co-written with Washington Post editor Vernon Loeb, is “All In: The Education of General David Petraeus.”

“It was a regrettable and an embarrassing error,” KMGH-TV News Director Jeff Harris said in a statement. “We are mortified this appeared during our 5 p.m. news broadcast. The editor pulled the image of the book cover from the Internet without realizing it had been doctored. We sincerely regret the error and have corrected the story to avoid any recurrence of its broadcast. We are following up internally as well to avoid a repeat of this inexcusable oversight.”

We should be so proud.

This also raises another question. Is it ethical for a tv news station to copy images from the Internet without attribution?

In my opinion, no. And these are the people that report our news?? Good God man.

Edit: I love your title to this thread too! HA! So true....

Good to see mainstream media get something wrong. Most of the libs here think only Fox News can make a mistake.

Intentional prank?

Thats hilarious! I wonder if she will sue for defamation cuz I think she would have a good case.

Probably one of their web people looking up funny internet pictures gave the producer the wrong picture to put into the broadcast.

I thought it had to be a lie for it to be considered defamation of character?
