This is so crazy I almost can’t believe it happened. In its reporting of Asiana Airlines flight 214’s frightening crash landing at San Francisco airport, bay area television station KTVU identified the pilots of the plane as: Captain Sum Ting Wong, Wi Tu Lo, Ho Li Fuk, and Bang Ding Ow. This happened on air.
Amazingly, the story is even more unbelievable than that. Days earlier, KTVU news director Lee Rosenthal was bragging about how good his news operation had performed.
“Being first on air and on every platform in all aspects of our coverage was a great accomplishment, but being 100% accurate, effectively using our great sources and social media without putting a single piece of erroneous information on our air, is what we are most proud of as a newsroom.”
Make up your own mind.

Yeah, that was surreal. When I first saw it I was sure it was some bad parody site. How could any news organization let that get by?
Too funny !
“We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you ’bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye” (Don Henley, “Dirty Laundry”.)
“Sum Ting Wong” is such an old joke it’s hard to understand how the talking head didn’t pick up on it as it scrolled on the teleprompter.
The Onion has now become the MSM.
“Dirty Laundry” by Don Henley
I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something
Something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry
Well, I coulda been an actor
But I wound up here
I just have to look good
I don’t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry
(CHORUS)
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em all around
We got the bubble headed
Bleached blonde
Comes on at five
She can tell you ’bout the plane crash
With a gleam in her eye
It’s interesting when people die
Give us dirty laundry
Can we film the operation
Is the head dead yet
You know the boys in the newsroom
Got a running bet
Get the widow on the set
We need dirty laundry
[Instrumental Interlude]
You don’t really need to find out
What’s going on
You don’t really want to know
Just how far it’s gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry
(CHORUS)
(FADED CHORUS)
Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers
In everybody’s pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry
We can do the Innuendo
We can dance and sing
When it’s said and done
We haven’t told you a thing
We all know that Crap is King
Give us dirty laundry
Don’t forget to give credit to the government; NTSB confirmed the names,
What about Sum Yung Ho?
She was the stewardess…..
She had to be in on it, no one in the news industry could be that stupid.
Don’t be so sure.
Well, if this doesn’t teach them humility, nothing ever will.
Reminds me of the three Chinese sisters, Tu Yung Tu, Tu Dum Tu, and Sum Fun Tu. (Then too, their cousin with the hernia, Won Hung Lo.
now that is funny. Made me laugh
