Just confirms how dumb the media is.

So Homer Simpson is doing the fact checking for them.

It sounds like Homer works for the NTSB. They verified it.

Lordy, the pilots could eventually be identified as having been wanking off to internet porn - what Korea will remember about the incident is this news report.

Seriously, how can anyone who lives on the west coast NOT know straight up those aren't Korean names?

As for the summer intern....

"Ho Lee Fuk" my fave of the four.  "We Tu Lo" is pretty dang good to.  hahahahaa "Sum Ting Wong"  http://www.deathandtaxesmag.com/202057/news-station-wrongly-names-pilots-in-korean-plane-crash-ho-lee-fuk-sum-ting-wong/

Oakland doesnt exactly strike me as the brightest bulb on the tree to do news in. As you have pretty dim bulbs watching it.

This reflects my overall opinion of media today. Having worked with many reporters sadly they aspire to win awards for breaking the big one, similar to Woodward and Bernstein ala Deepthroat and Watergate as opposed to being noted for objectivity like Cronkite. The profession is dead.

boo

Reminds me of the CNN disaster saying they had a "top level source" that said there was a suspect under arrest early in the Boston Marathon bombings.
They were first, but they were completely wrong.

There is one good guy left out there, Scott Pelley. I met him many years ago and he's the real deal, not your typical TV "talent". I believe both Walter and Edward would approve of Scott and the leadership he is showing at CBS.
