3. Reporter has no idea who Mo Farah is
There was a furious backlash after the New Orleans half marathon when British athlete and double gold medal winner Mo Farah was interviewed following the race.
Farah had won the race in a course record time, but WSDU reporter LaTonya Norton had clearly done no research, asking the Olympic legend; “Haven’t you run before? This isn’t your first time?”
The station later apologised, but all credit to the runner who defended Norton:
“She made a mistake like we all do!! She didn’t mean anything by it.”

A controversial basketball game was organised to be played on Kim’s birthday and when questioned about this Rodman responded with a bizarre and angry outburst on CNN.
