Now how are the mofos, who are supposedly PAID for their excellent communication skills, unable to enunciate "King"? Your mouth goes in opposite directions when saying the letter "i" vs. pronouncing "oo".
CACs rallied around this dude tho; he's keeping his job.
It's just what you'd expect in the land of the deplorables.
St. Louis newscaster apologizes for inserting slur into Martin Luther King Jr.'s name on air
A St. Louis newscaster apologized on air Thursday morning, saying that his mispronunciation of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s name that included a racial slur was “not intentional in any way.”
KTVI (Channel 2) newscaster Kevin Steincross was speaking on the station’s morning news show about 5:34 a.m. when he said an upcoming tribute to the civil rights icon at St. Louis University would honor “Martin Luther coon Jr.,” speaking a racial slur that has been used against black people.
“I want to take a moment to apologize,” Steincross said on air a little after 9am. “We have heard from a viewer about a mistake I made in our 5 a.m. newscast. In our story about the tribute to Dr. King, I unfortunately mispronounced his name. Please know I have total respect for Dr. King, what he meant and what he continues to mean to our country. This was not intentional in any way, and I sincerely apologize.”
If the person didn't call in it would have been business as usual.
