Detroit Free Press

This is a good place to drop general and weird news, entertainment, and general show prep material that might be interesting to air talent or producers. Hot dog threads ALWAYS welcome.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. (Heath Harrison) -- The publisher of the Detroit Free Press apologized Tuesday for an offensive comment posted on Twitter by one of the paper’s journalists regarding the West Virginia water crisis.

On Monday, reporter Zlati Meyer had posted, "#WestVirginia has its tainted water problem under ctrl. Now, it can work on incest."

Meyer’s comments immediately drew harsh criticism from others on Twitter.

Yep...someone hailing from one of the biggest toilets in the free world, Detroit, spouting off about a place probably never visited by the writer. This so-called journalist should do due diligence and would soon discover that West Virginians have distinguished themselves in almost every human endeavor.
