ABC station botches Petraeus book cover: ‘ALL Up IN My Snatch’

[Playinghardball]

An ABC News affiliate in Denver says that while attempting to report on the resignation of former CIA Director David Petraeus, the station mistakenly aired a photoshopped version of his mistress’ book with the raunchy title “All Up In My Snatch.”

KMGH-TV producer Deb Stanley told Raw Story that the wrong book cover had been “mistakenly picked up off the Internet” and aired during their 5 p.m. broadcast on Monday. Instead of displaying the actual book cover of Paula Broadwell’s Petraeus biography, “All In,” KMGH-TV aired the parody cover, “All Up In My Snatch.”

“That actually happened and it was a mistake,” Stanley explained. “And it was not something we created. We don’t want that mistake out there.”

While the KMGH-TV did not post the segment on its website, a viewer captured video of the broadcast and provided it to Americablog.

And it was clear from comments posted on KMGH’s TheDenverChannel.com that several other viewers also caught the mistake.

4. What stands out for me is that she didn't even write the book...

It's "with Vernon Loeb"...in other words, he was boinking her for a long time and they threw her name on the cover so it looked like she did something.

16. this is what happens when regional affiliates hire interns to do the work...

I used to work in a regional NBC affiliate. They had these people making minimum wage, with no life experience, or work experience, in charge of things like that. And hilarity often ensued. Much like the headline writers at the newspaper I worked for.
