Thanks to an alert DMfM reader for sending me a link to the following video clip.
Fox News (w)anchor, Shep Smith, demonstrates the delicate art of saying the wrong thing, live on-air. It makes any of my on-air gaffes look minor by comparrison.
It was a seemingly innocent story about Jennifer Lopez a.k.a. J-Lo.
Here's the clip.
I'm sure this kind of journalism must really stick in the throat of J-Lo.
Sound playback is essential.
It's 1MB in size, so if you're not on broadband, go make the coffee after clicking the link. It requires Windows Media Player. Mac OS X version available here.
