We’re sure there’s room for them at MSNBC.
KTVU-TV has dismissed at least three veteran producers over the on-air
gaffe involving the fake names of those Asiana airline pilots that became an
instant YouTube hit – and a major embarrassment to the station.
Station sources confirmed late Wednesday that investigative producer
Roland DeWolk, special projects producer Cristina Gastelu and producer Brad
Belstock were all sent packing following an in-house investigation into the
July 12 broadcast of four fake names of the pilots involved in the Asiana
Flight 214 crash at San Francisco International Airport on July 6.
A fourth – noon news producer Elvin Sledge – told colleagues he was
leaving for health reasons.
News of the firings was first reported on Rich Lieberman’s 415 Media
blog.
During its noon newscast on July 12, anchor Tori Campbell announced that
“KTVU has just learned the names of the four pilots who were on board”
the ill-fated plane – then proceeded to read from a teleprompter while the
phony names were displayed on a graphic.
The names she gave were Capt. Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk and
Bang Ding Ow.
Instead of rank stupidity, excuses are made that these blithering idiots are
overworked.
At Channel 2 and elsewhere, “People are overtaxed and have more
responsibility sometimes than they can handle. And sometimes, in situations
like this, terrible mistakes happen that are bigger than one person. It’s
systemic.” |
