Another newsreader calls MLK Jr "Martin Luther C**n"
Slip of the tongue! We just can't help ourselves!
Read the restKevin Steincross, a veteran morning anchor on Fox2 St. Louis, was discussing an upcoming tribute to the civil rights leader when he pronounced Dr. Kings last name as an anti-black slur during the 5 a.m. broadcast.
Hours later, during the 9 a.m. show, Mr. Steincross said the station had heard from a viewer that he had mispronounced the name.
Please know I have total respect for Dr. King, what he meant and continues to mean to our country, Mr. Steincross said. This was not intentional in any way, and I sincerely apologize.
