I'll be traveling today and far from a laptop. So to keep the blog hopping a little, I decided to put up my nomination for worst news blooper ever, snatched from YouTube.
What do you think? Feel free to post the worst blooper of your own, as well.
 The Feed is a blog on TV, media and modern life by St. Petersburg Times TV/media critic Eric Deggans. Possibly the most critical guy at the Times, he has served as music, media and TV critic at various times over 10 years.

I think those old WTSP bloopers were about the best I've ever seen.

Ok, I have worked in TV news and I have seen some doozy's. But the worst one ever I don't have any video for. I was at home watching Ch. 28 in the morning several years ago when the morning anchor read this headline: "A Lakeland woman shoots and kills herself then turns the gun on her 12 year old daughter!" Honestly, that made it to air!! Wow, still can't believe it.

I hear you, Reed. i wish i could think of a good local news blooper beyond the ones i've posted to the blog, but i really can't.
One of the strangest things i saw in a local Tv report, however, was an interview Ch. 28 reporter Robin Guess did with then-Tampa mayor Dick Greco where Greco actually looked over Guess in a lascivious way right in front of the camera.
of course, she put it in ther story! Great get...
