Asiana Flight Crash and FOX News...
Here's another feather in the cap of FOX News' reputation for being, at a minimum, racially insensitive.
Warning! This might make you laugh, but remember that people died as a result of this crash.

Re: Asiana Flight Crash and FOX News...
Im not sure this was meant to be a racial or ethnic joke on the reporters part, obviously it was on the part of the originator of the "joke". I think this is great commentary on the state of the news today, just blab what ever info you get and apologize later. Sloppy work in my opinion. MSNBC has been in hot water over the Martin-Zimmerman case lately, this time it was a FOX affiliate.

Re: Asiana Flight Crash and FOX News...
That's a pure case of... read it somewhere... wrote it down... reported it... didn't check anything. How ignorant can they get. Heads should roll on this one. Not because of racism because nobody is stupid enough to do that on purpose... but for wildly poor and sloppy journalism.

This is stupid, and could happen with ANY local affiliate. Like D4T said, this was a case of someone didn't think it through before broadcasting it. The producer was lazy not to notice this; and I can't believe no one else followed up, though (again) this was a local affiliate and they likely rushed to put the names out there ahead of everyone else.
It's a sad and terrible prank, but that's all it is. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with FoxNews being insensitive or racist or whatever you're trying to imply.

I am just glad CNN is not racially bias.

Neither the station nor the NTSB commented on where the names originated.

Re: Asiana Flight Crash and FOX News...
It was a FOX affiliate that was given the names and before airing them they contacted the NTSB for confirmation, which was given by what has turned out to be an intern who is either incompetent or negligent.
You also were misleading in your thread / post when you make it sound like this was FOX News, the national Fox news channel. This was a local station, channel 2, and local newscasts.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."

Re: Asiana Flight Crash and FOX News...
When I first saw the YouTube video yesterday of the names being read I really really wanted to hear a pause at the end of the 3rd name followed by the anchor going into a Moe-like rant "Why you little......! When I get my hands on you!!"
