Some already-been-fired employee at an ABC affiliate had a little fun with Paula Broadwell’s unfortunately-named biography of David Petraeus. Instead of “All In,” the graphic that ran during a story about the scandal read “All Up in My Snatch.”
Yes, really:
Today in adventures in television news: graphics gone wrong. An ABC affiliate in Denver, Colo., said it was a “mistake” to run an image of Paula Broadwell’s David Petraeus biography that listed the title as “All Up In My Snatch” during a story on the former CIA director’s extramarital affair.
The image appeared during Monday’s evening news broadcast. The book’s actual title, co-written with Washington Post editor Vernon Loeb, is “All In: The Education of General David Petraeus.”
“It was a regrettable and an embarrassing error,” KMGH-TV News Director Jeff Harris said in a statement. “We are mortified this appeared during our 5 p.m. news broadcast. The editor pulled the image of the book cover from the Internet without realizing it had been doctored. We sincerely regret the error and have corrected the story to avoid any recurrence of its broadcast. We are following up internally as well to avoid a repeat of this inexcusable oversight.”
I am sure I should be appalled or something, but I can’t stop laughing because yes, I’m four years old.

Uhhhh yeaahhhh, I guess that was kind of mistake. Unprofessional much, “ABC affiliate in Denver”?
But, this is the first story that has caught my interest in the whole affair.
Pat Lang at his sic semper tyrannis blog is a tad ‘quirky’, but I have long believed his assessment of Petraeus was more or less accurate. Looks like it was. Maybe I would have followed the scandal more but I have found the corporate pundit not-so-safe Petreus man-hugs to be icky, so have turned off the reports.
If the TV movie is on basic cable, I might watch and find out what happened. Or maybe when it turns up as a pulp bodice-ripper, if it is not too thick.

sorry, but after weeks of Romnesia and Romentum and unskewed polls, it’s hard to resist the gleefulness that arrived with this post and the woman in Arizona who ran over her husband because he didn’t vote. With all the weighty maters that we usually discuss here, it’s nice to sit back and be juvenile and let the inner adolescent out (that I was happy to discover, still lives!).
I guess that this means that there’s still hope because it’s obvious that these women signed up for hand-to-hand combat and were volunteers and not drafted…..

It could be that there’s something wrong with me, but somehow I’ve lived through the last five days without learning much at all about this whole Petræus-Broadhurst-Allen-Somebody-Else thing. It just doesn’t grab me at all. The only thing so far that I’ve learned about it worth keeping in mind is the above story about All Up In My Snatch. That’s worth talking about.
I even listened to about half an hour of the Diane Rehm show in the car this morning, and it was all about the Petraeus thing, and all I learned in that half hour was that the woman reporter who was on the show had the most annoying voice I’ve heard in I don’t know how long. I’ve heard of “faces made for radio”; this woman had a voice made for silent movies.

More from the TPM link and more media fail:
“[KMGH-TV News Director Jeff] Harris told TPM he only received one email in response to the graphic. “I watched the piece. I didn’t see it,” he said.”
Assuming he has functional vision, how did Mr. Harris miss the “UP” between “ALL” and “IN”? Perhaps his attention was focused elsewhere.
It would seem to me that the hacker of the image should not be the only one fired here.

I’ve seen this sort of thing happen before. Someone grabs the standard newsroom template in video editing software for “book cover flies from bottom” or whatever, the template that they always use for the common occurrence of splitting the frame between image/video of the author and the cover of his/her work. That someone, rushing to keep up with the story in time for broadcast, Googles the book cover, downloads the first result, copies and pastes, moves on to the rest of the segment. The finished product gets glanced at once, on a good day, and then up it goes for viewers, to the embarrassment of everyone.

What I find hilarious in the most ironic way, is that the GOP will reflexively call for a special committee examination of this drama to try to find the smallest hint of some malfeasance on the part of the White House. In doing so (and finding none) they will tear open a lot of “private” activity and embarrass people they used to go out of their way to deify.
