CBS Evening News mispronounces Veco

Posted in Opinion by FOR Members on August 3rd, 2007 by jenn

When news of the FBI raid on Ted Stevens' home first hit, Katie Couric and the other Evening News reporters repeatedly mispronounced the company name of Veco in its report. (Hint: rhymes with Gecko)

After having a day and a half to prepare the story, it was clear that Couric and her crew hadn't bothered to talk to anybody who knew anything whatsoever about the unfolding scandal. Isn't that why they pay them the big bucks?

I haven't been able to find footage of the news cast (I actually saw it on tv!), but since the gaff indicates just how sloppy tv news has gotten, I thought I'd bring it up.
