@andrewblanchard2398 Dan was def the man. Spoke no lies…just not what tptb wanted folks to know about. Also, I’m sure the media could muster dirt on all these politicians. However, reporting factual news is not the same any more. Just noise that aggravates those who hear it….depressing asf too!
Looks like the real problem was that he wasn't ready; saying some naughty words may have thrown him off, but he looked like a deer in the headlights from the get-go. It's not as easy as it looks, folks....
So as a reporter you should stay away from -Swearing -Misogyny -Racism -Sexual misconduct -Doctored reporting -Using the medias resources for personal gains Sounds like it should be pretty easy to do.
you forgot LYING, having drug or alcohol problems. Fumbling your words on air. and about 50 other things… It might seem “easy“ from where you’re sitting? But I assure you it’s not… The pressure and competition is insurmountable. Which is why that one reporter in Queensland went off the rails… Literally. 😢
Watch mojo has gone down hill, they have click bait captions, oftentimes the videos will include the same ppl in previous videos with different titles😂
Who else sees the irony in Matt Lauer interviewing Dan Rather and then Bill O'Reilly? I wonder if he was sweating bullets in those moments wondering when HIS time to get busted would come.
The word would imply that it is sex when it is in fact 100% always rape. Child sex abuse material is what it is. "Child" followed by that word is disgusting
They could have given A.J. one pass. He was clearly nervous as hell. Let him be nervous as hell his first day on television. It's not like he dropped the n-bomb.
Connie Chung is another one. She was fired from CBS for making several stupid mistakes during interviews. She is married to so-called former journalist Maury "You are the father!" Povich. I'm not sure which is worse.
Didn't she make her bones with stories about breast implants causing huge numbers of women to die of cancer . . . except that no women died of cancer caused by breast implants?
Except that women HAVE died of cancer caused by breast implants. Maybe not thousands, but there are cases. The cancer is called breast implant associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma.
@@jamiethal1319 This is not what Connie Chung was on about at that time. And I wrote "huge numbers". People have gone outside and had a helicopter crash on them, but I don't typically advise against going outside to avoid this. A quick search shows that what you describe is rare at best. Looks a little vague honestly. And even by the numbers presented, maybe 36 people died in 20 years? Chung was into some very bad 'science' and spewing misinformation. Basically, this woman had implants and got cancer - therefore the implant caused the cancer. But it turned out that when you looked at the data, that women who didn't have implants got cancer at the same rate statistically speaking. When presented with these statistics, they protested with things like "A woman is not a statistic, she's a human being" and other such nonsense.
A.J. shouldn't have been fired. He was young, inexperienced and scared to death on his first day. Sure he shouldn't have uttered those curse words, but he really didn't know when the cameras start rolling. Poor guy!
The best thing about his situation,he faced it accepted it and moved on! I couldnt avoid but smiling after hearing what he decided to do after being fired! His opportunity on TV might be over but as the good ol' saying goes "Life finds a way"
Such an ignorant comment! I have worked in logistics for 20 years and talk to truck drivers that will regularly cuss me out on a daily basis, but I am still professional in the way I talk to them. A.J. was working in and industry where none of this happens, and still acted like a clown! He had no reason to cuss, or act a fool, but did. He is unprofessional and his firing was warranted. HE GOT HIRED TO BE PROFESSIONAL! THAT IS HIS JOB! HE IS PAID TO BE AN ORATOR! I am paid to be that as well, and in fact, have more responsibility... to the point I would say that I am a communication specialist, organizer, curator, and manager, and I still work at a MUCH lower rate than he was paid!.......HE DESERVED TO BE FIRED! He acted unprofessionally, and his firing was warranted. I have no idea why people try to make excuses for other peoples ignorance for their inability to do the simple task that they were hired for!
I agree with this, but I would have added TJ Holmes and Rosie O’Donnell. They fire news reporters for blowing their nose these days! Very brutal business
I was truly angered following Charlie Rose being fired from CBS Mornings because soon afterward Gayle King was given all the control and power she desired to flagrantly LIE and make FALSE innuendos to us program devotees. I loved how Charlie used to cut-her-off at the knees for doing so while he was there. Have never watched any CBS news since.

What's interesting is that people weren't being canceled for Halloween costumes before the movie White Chicks. 🤔 Almost like the Wayans Brothers hit a nerve, and now everyone has to be stopped. Lol
Glad she was still paid out. Seems like she was fired because of complaints. Not her actual words. She didn’t even do black face herself. That’s a joke. I would’ve sued the people who made me lose my job with their pathetic immaturity.
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS of people here in Asia use skin-whitening creams and drugs. Should they all be cancelled for "white-face"? Should white folks who lie in the sun be cancelled? People freak out over nothing.
@@kirstybrown1185 Agreed. Most people would agree that the only mistake she made was letting them force an apology out of her over it. It was ridiculous.
Black face is wrong but dressing up as a black person is fine. Think it shows admiration for that person. Even if the person is doing it for parody it's not that serious. People really need to relax.
Walter Cronkite, Bob Shieffer, Tim Russert, Ann Curry. There are many good journalists, including some on that list. Unfortunately errors in judgment cost them their jobs
I never particularly liked Megyn Kelly, but I did respect her dauntless interview with Trump, and firing her for expressing an opinion about Halloween makeup was just absurd. What is this, North Korea? She wasn’t declaring her admiration for Al Jolson and Jim Crow laws. I think the network had regrets about hiring her rather spontaneously to begin with, and felt uneasy regarding controversial remarks she had made, but were too embarrassed to admit she was a poor fit for their corporate culture.
To be fair while sensitive people may disagree I kinda agree with her. As long as it’s used to represent a character or a person in a non derogatory way like Halloween or cosplay I don’t see the issue.
Well over half the list are arguably doing better now than they were on a major network. AND the dude who swore his first day and was fired... he did not even have a career to ruin yet.
Walter Cronkite's honest opinion comment on the war in Vietnam being a lost cause cemented him as the greatest in my book. No primetime nightly news anchor since then has ever had the guts to go off script and call it like it is on an issue so big. Legend.
@@twrampage santa originated from st nicholas, a 4th-century greek bishop who lived in what is now modern-day turkey. are turks "european"? and who says all europeans are white?

Isn't it a shame we hold these reporters to a higher standard than we do our elected leaders? Compare these lies and misdeeds with what Trump has done.
@GiovanniLorenzo0 Jesus, just take the republicans strap on off. You'll feel better not getting fu..... actually, you're smart and brave. You're doing great
No, dude, it was never just “a word”!! Slurs have ALWAYS been hurtful to the people affected, but you just got away with saying those slurs back then! People have finally now started to stand up for what is right, and you don’t have carte blanche to be an ass!
Bah, bunch of soft skinned grown children. I have been called slurs many times over the years, it never hurt at all, just a simple annoyance. I swear people need to grow up and stop pretending that words hurt.
I still watch Ivory Hecker every week on TH-cam! Her career isn't over at all. She's just not part of the fake-news propaganda machine anymore. She's a REAL journalist who actually investigates things and seeks the truth.
Here is a quote from Tucker Carlson that shows why he should never be taken seriously: "breaking news Pink Moon turns frogs gay." He actually said that on air one time.
I wonder if that wasn't tongue in cheek reference to that viral Alex Jones video where he is raving about "chemicals in the water turning the frigging frogs gay". 😂 The auto-tune remix song of that clip is an absolute banger
Why? The people that jump all over this incident always make sure to edit out the rest of the piece, that they were talking about Haley criticizing the age of others.
What do you think about shows like Would I lie to you or Have I Got News for You? I fell in love with these shows traveling to Scotland 6 times a year.
How? Cause a lot of the people I hear offended by that kinda stuff are those who say are "allies" of... well everything and everybody. The people who get offended on behalf of others, whether there was insult or not.
Idk. I feel like the worst thing was the outrageous hair. Her fro coulda been smaller😂😂😂😂 at least she didn’t do blackface. People want their panties in a bunch so bad.
@@Justhere4videosthe prime minister of Canada wasn't just doing black face he blacked up his entire body , yet Kelly is in the wrong while the celebrities and politicians are all ok
I don’t like that. I don’t agree with black face, no need for it but that conversation was no different to a black person saying all white people are racist. Yet they wouldn’t be cancelled for that. This was an embarrassing double standard. There are more racist black people on air than her comment made her. Telling white people they are expected to be better is racist on both sides. Imagine telling non whites you don’t expect much from them. 🤭
As a primarily black person whose extended family straddles several fiercely-protected cultural traditions, I feel that the current cultural attitude towards blackface (et al) is an overcorrection. I don't think that dressing up as Diana Ross back in the eighties, for instance is cringe-worthy any more than Tom Hanks portraying a gay person or a disabled person or a villain should be considered inappropriate since the very point of Halloween and acting is to pretend to be someone you're not for a while. Sure, we now have the capability to cast actors who fit their roles more closely, and we should do that, but it seems to me that that reduces an actor's opportunities to stretch. However, considering how a person's intent is increasingly difficult to read (both because we are losing the ability to read people AND because people are more often employing ulterior motives) and because information is increasingly shared without context, I completely understand why indulging in another's culture is no longer appropriate. This is not to say that celebrating/engaging in other cultures is inherently a bad thing; it's just become politically problematic to do so without being accused of appropriation (which is when you actively pretend that a foreign culture is your own) or accused of mocking that culture (when you present that culture in caricature). It is my sincere hope that this relatively new phobia does not permanently have a chilling effect on cultural proliferation, discouraging people from learning about one another's ways of life.
A lot of these aren’t really “in one moment”, but rather being terrible for a long time and getting found out. What about Charlo Greene? That was a moment to be remembered.
Phyllis George was the co-anchor of CBS’ morning show many years ago. She interviewed a man who was falsely accused of raping a woman then released when she recanted. The woman was in the studio with the man. At the end of the interview George asked the man if he’d give the woman a hug. She was fired soon after.
I don’t know if he was a reporter, but Paul Harvey is my favorite personality. But most of these people weren’t reporters either, just people who can read a teleprompter.
You might wanna look into Frank Sommerville. He was a well known local anchor in the San Francisco Bay Area. Poor dude basically became an alcoholic. There were two instances where he was slurring his words on air and it was clear he was drunk. The network didn't renew his contract. Since then he's been involved in a drunk driving crash and violating parole by having drunken disputes with family. It's a sad case.
Sadly, the casting couch is not a purely 1950s Hollywood phenomenon, and the culture of such pressure wasn't limited to the onscreen talent, as not just Weinstein, but also such as Les Moonves at CBS demonstrated.
As usual, your channel's title is clickbait and inaccurate. As your own script states, most of these professionals lost their jobs after investigations showed months, years, if not decades, of misconduct.
I’ve started to hit the ‘don’t recommend channel’ button for every one of these I come across. If everyone did that it might take them out of the algorithm and thus cut into their monetary returns on what you aptly described as ‘clickbait’.
Why is it that we are now told that someone did "something bad", but the reporters don't tell us what was said/done in case it reflects badly on them? We used to have asterisks in place when examples were given.
Didn't Matt Lauer have a hand in getting rid of Ann Curry when she knew what kind of sleezebag he was? I don't the _she_ is the one who ruined her career with NBC.
I hate when tv personalities and entertainers apologize for saying something that is no big deal, and they act like they're so broken and upset about the incident. They are just apologizing to save their careers.
Ok I need to say this because it’s a pet peeve. The people who call jail prison or prison jail. They’re 2 very different places. Jail is more restrictive and probably physically safer. And prison is less restrictive. People are allowed to get jobs in the prison. And have better snacks, and get access to more things to fill their time. But they are in a bigger facility and they have more opportunities to get hurt or taken advantage of or extorted. You get jail time for anything under a year. But sometimes you can get a federal sentence for under a year which means you are sent to a federal prison for 6 months (like Martha Stewart). But mostly you are in prison for any thing over a year and jail for under a year. A friend of a friend had an arrest record longer than my whole body. And when he was arrested and charged. At the time of his trial. He was acting out trying to distract jurors. And called his lawyer and the prosecutor dirty names. But at the time of sentencing. She told him she didn’t like his behavior. But she knew he had kids at home who depended on him for a lot of care, and a wife who had mental health problems who he helped manage her medication and her care. But he needed to serve some time. And she wanted to insure that the he was kept in county jail so he was close enough so the kids could easily visit as opposed to him being the 300 miles away. So she gave him 364 days even though she could have given him up to 5 years. When he heard that he wasn’t going to get time served or even just a few weeks to a month. He screamed he was going to kill her when he got out. And he hoped that her kids were raped. And he flipped the defendants table all in a matter of 45 seconds. She demanded that he calmed down. And he was going to sit in the holding cell and calm down then he was going to come back in to hear some truths. That all happened about 11 am. Finally at about 4:30 the guard told her he was still agitated but better. So he was brought back in about 10 minutes before court ended for the day. And she said that she knew he wanted her to consider giving time served or that he would just get a month or less. But she didn’t agree that was enough of a sentence. So she gave him a day short so he could see his kids a couple times a week. But … now that he showed no respect for her and said vile things to her. She was canceling the 364 and that she was instead going to change it to 366. She apologized to the wife and told him that next time a Judge shows you grace by trying to help by NOT sending you further away. You deserve to get no mercy shown.

@@GiovanniLorenzo0 - lol, whatever slappy. Unless you have evidence that the GOP doesn't know about, STFU.
Sure. Trump '24.
@GiovanniLorenzo0 Jesus, just take the republicans strap on off. You'll feel better not getting fu..... actually, you're smart and brave. You're doing great
No, dude, it was never just “a word”!!
Slurs have ALWAYS been hurtful to the people affected, but you just got away with saying those slurs back then!
People have finally now started to stand up for what is right, and you don’t have carte blanche to be an ass!
Bah, bunch of soft skinned grown children. I have been called slurs many times over the years, it never hurt at all, just a simple annoyance. I swear people need to grow up and stop pretending that words hurt.
Well i heard rick sanchez lead a better life after that incident, he became a scientist and has a grandson named morty .
16:34 Matt Lauer interviewing Bill O’Reily about sexual misconduct. lol
I still watch Ivory Hecker every week on TH-cam! Her career isn't over at all. She's just not part of the fake-news propaganda machine anymore. She's a REAL journalist who actually investigates things and seeks the truth.
Tucker didn't ruin his career it's thriving even more on his own 😂😂
Here is a quote from Tucker Carlson that shows why he should never be taken seriously: "breaking news Pink Moon turns frogs gay." He actually said that on air one time.
I wonder if that wasn't tongue in cheek reference to that viral Alex Jones video where he is raving about "chemicals in the water turning the frigging frogs gay". 😂
The auto-tune remix song of that clip is an absolute banger
@@Whatdoesthisboxdo bro a certified banger for sure 😂 it's a bop
I love how Brian Williams made it known that it was his choice to leave NBC news.
Don Lemon-major cringe.
Why? The people that jump all over this incident always make sure to edit out the rest of the piece, that they were talking about Haley criticizing the age of others.
Doesnt he love himself so much
What do you think about shows like Would I lie to you or Have I Got News for You? I fell in love with these shows traveling to Scotland 6 times a year.
Honestly, Megyn Kelly just kept digging her grave with that argument.
But everything he said was true.
How? Cause a lot of the people I hear offended by that kinda stuff are those who say are "allies" of... well everything and everybody. The people who get offended on behalf of others, whether there was insult or not.
Idk. I feel like the worst thing was the outrageous hair. Her fro coulda been smaller😂😂😂😂 at least she didn’t do blackface. People want their panties in a bunch so bad.
@@Justhere4videosthe prime minister of Canada wasn't just doing black face he blacked up his entire body , yet Kelly is in the wrong while the celebrities and politicians are all ok
I don’t like that. I don’t agree with black face, no need for it but that conversation was no different to a black person saying all white people are racist. Yet they wouldn’t be cancelled for that. This was an embarrassing double standard. There are more racist black people on air than her comment made her. Telling white people they are expected to be better is racist on both sides. Imagine telling non whites you don’t expect much from them. 🤭
They're all sorry.....That they got caught
Walter Cronkite was the best of them all.
The fact that Connie Chung isn’t on this list makes me feel ancient.
As a primarily black person whose extended family straddles several fiercely-protected cultural traditions, I feel that the current cultural attitude towards blackface (et al) is an overcorrection.
I don't think that dressing up as Diana Ross back in the eighties, for instance is cringe-worthy any more than Tom Hanks portraying a gay person or a disabled person or a villain should be considered inappropriate since the very point of Halloween and acting is to pretend to be someone you're not for a while. Sure, we now have the capability to cast actors who fit their roles more closely, and we should do that, but it seems to me that that reduces an actor's opportunities to stretch.
However, considering how a person's intent is increasingly difficult to read (both because we are losing the ability to read people AND because people are more often employing ulterior motives) and because information is increasingly shared without context, I completely understand why indulging in another's culture is no longer appropriate.
This is not to say that celebrating/engaging in other cultures is inherently a bad thing; it's just become politically problematic to do so without being accused of appropriation (which is when you actively pretend that a foreign culture is your own) or accused of mocking that culture (when you present that culture in caricature).
It is my sincere hope that this relatively new phobia does not permanently have a chilling effect on cultural proliferation, discouraging people from learning about one another's ways of life.
Society is currently crumbling
Too many people on this list only got fired/lost their job because what they said was heard by the public.
Honorable mention: Mike Davis from 10TV Columbus
A lot of these aren’t really “in one moment”, but rather being terrible for a long time and getting found out. What about Charlo Greene? That was a moment to be remembered.
I still don't understand Don Lemon's departure. I don't understand what he did wrong.
You'd better make a new list soon everyone else on msnbc and cnn is going down
Love it when Matt Lauer interviews Bill O’Reilly.
Phyllis George was the co-anchor of CBS’ morning show many years ago. She interviewed a man who was falsely accused of raping a woman then released when she recanted. The woman was in the studio with the man. At the end of the interview George asked the man if he’d give the woman a hug. She was fired soon after.
I don’t know if he was a reporter, but Paul Harvey is my favorite personality. But most of these people weren’t reporters either, just people who can read a teleprompter.
I don’t think 19 counts as he was not a reporter at the time.
Why does Tucker Carlson always look like he’s either fighting a fart or that he just let it go.
That's his "investigative" look.
@@jopalm3649 i dunno. that look to me says he has to fart but doesnt want to do it on camera.
You checking out dudes or just jealous of Tucker 😂😂

You might wanna look into Frank Sommerville. He was a well known local anchor in the San Francisco Bay Area. Poor dude basically became an alcoholic. There were two instances where he was slurring his words on air and it was clear he was drunk. The network didn't renew his contract. Since then he's been involved in a drunk driving crash and violating parole by having drunken disputes with family. It's a sad case.
I seems pretty difficult to be a decent person.

TOLD the TRUTH
Sadly, the casting couch is not a purely 1950s Hollywood phenomenon, and the culture of such pressure wasn't limited to the onscreen talent, as not just Weinstein, but also such as Les Moonves at CBS demonstrated.
Who thinks that the casting couch is purely a 1950s kind of thing?
As usual, your channel's title is clickbait and inaccurate. As your own script states, most of these professionals lost their jobs after investigations showed months, years, if not decades, of misconduct.
I’ve started to hit the ‘don’t recommend channel’ button for every one of these I come across. If everyone did that it might take them out of the algorithm and thus cut into their monetary returns on what you aptly described as ‘clickbait’.
a child diddler says ''what?"
Erm, your statement is inaccurate. Many of these were just 1 moment.
Why is it that we are now told that someone did "something bad", but the reporters don't tell us what was said/done in case it reflects badly on them? We used to have asterisks in place when examples were given.
You didn't put Ann Curry on your list....interesting.
Didn't Matt Lauer have a hand in getting rid of Ann Curry when she knew what kind of sleezebag he was? I don't the _she_ is the one who ruined her career with NBC.
@@notorioustori I gave the wrong name....I meant Connie Chung.
I'm suprised that BBC news reporter Huw Edwards didn't make this list.
I hate when tv personalities and entertainers apologize for saying something that is no big deal, and they act like they're so broken and upset about the incident. They are just apologizing to save their careers.
I think that Barbara Walter’s and Diane Sawyer were pretty influential.
BE PROFESSIONAL AS ALWAYS
Ok I need to say this because it’s a pet peeve.
The people who call jail prison or prison jail.
They’re 2 very different places. Jail is more restrictive and probably physically safer. And prison is less restrictive. People are allowed to get jobs in the prison. And have better snacks, and get access to more things to fill their time. But they are in a bigger facility and they have more opportunities to get hurt or taken advantage of or extorted. You get jail time for anything under a year. But sometimes you can get a federal sentence for under a year which means you are sent to a federal prison for 6 months (like Martha Stewart). But mostly you are in prison for any thing over a year and jail for under a year. A friend of a friend had an arrest record longer than my whole body. And when he was arrested and charged. At the time of his trial. He was acting out trying to distract jurors. And called his lawyer and the prosecutor dirty names. But at the time of sentencing. She told him she didn’t like his behavior. But she knew he had kids at home who depended on him for a lot of care, and a wife who had mental health problems who he helped manage her medication and her care. But he needed to serve some time. And she wanted to insure that the he was kept in county jail so he was close enough so the kids could easily visit as opposed to him being the 300 miles away. So she gave him 364 days even though she could have given him up to 5 years. When he heard that he wasn’t going to get time served or even just a few weeks to a month. He screamed he was going to kill her when he got out. And he hoped that her kids were raped. And he flipped the defendants table all in a matter of 45 seconds. She demanded that he calmed down. And he was going to sit in the holding cell and calm down then he was going to come back in to hear some truths. That all happened about 11 am. Finally at about 4:30 the guard told her he was still agitated but better. So he was brought back in about 10 minutes before court ended for the day. And she said that she knew he wanted her to consider giving time served or that he would just get a month or less. But she didn’t agree that was enough of a sentence. So she gave him a day short so he could see his kids a couple times a week. But … now that he showed no respect for her and said vile things to her. She was canceling the 364 and that she was instead going to change it to 366. She apologized to the wife and told him that next time a Judge shows you grace by trying to help by NOT sending you further away. You deserve to get no mercy shown.
As someone who has interned at a Detention Center, I agree
What about Don Imus?
Tolley Carr in nc should be on this list
How could you guys have missed Tex Antoine?
2:45 why is this so funny to me
How u not gonna have Jimmy the Greek on this list? Documentaries are made about the guy but he can't crack the all mighty mojo
Thin line between reporter and "commentator".
@@geraldmartin7703 I wouldn't say commentator. He was a Vegas line maker that was hired by the networks to give his football picks... He was reporting on professional football so I don't see why he wouldn't qualify?
@@geraldmartin7703 he didn't commentate games, he sat at the sports desk
