This can not be real. Did you take the screen shot or find it online?


OK, it's legit. What a bunch of suckers.

Its all over the social media networks, including Reddit.

There's been an apology (link), too.

Looks like something my father would mass-mail/spam thinking it's true -- no matter how often I've begged him (1) fact-check first, (2) if it looks too good/bad to be true, it ain't, and (3) quit sending me this junk.

One intern who can kiss any thoughts of a government career goodbye...unless he/she goes into politics where facts are never quite...well...facts.

You just know that if a certain news outlet perceived to be Right of extreme Left would have done this, they would have burned the building down.

So news outlets just regurgitate whatever they're fed from "official" sources?
And here I thought the press was a check on government power rather than propaganda arm...

Every time I see that I laugh...it is so stupid it's funny...especially the idiot that could read that with a straight face and not get it.

BEST.NEWS.REPORT.EVER


Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Lee Fuk and Bang Ding Ow should sue for libel...


...lets not be cryptic about it, San Freaksisco reports it and its an accident by an unsuspecting reporter based on a false report by the governmnet. Fox news would have been fined a bazillion dollars by the FCC, the ACLU would already be releasing the details in the pending lawsuit, and the usual group of talking heads would already be set up outside of the NTSB interns house demanding his head on a stick.

...but this is San Freaksisco so it is all fixed with an "oops-our bad"

KTVU

Is KTVU a known liberal news source? They are in California, but they're also a FOX affiliate.

As heavily Asian as San Fran (they hate being called this) you'd think someone would have applied critical thinking. The TV station is getting sued by Asiana BTW.

If anyone called me to confirm this I would have said yes it's true. My defense would be that no one could possibly ask that question with a straight face.
