NY anchorman drops F-bomb on live TV

From The Associated Press:

Ernie Anastos of Fox affiliate WNYW was bantering with the weatherman Wednesday night when he cheerfully dropped an F-bomb on the air. What he likely intended to say was, “Keep plucking that chicken.”

Anastos didn’t appear to recognize the error, though co-anchor Dari Alexander’s eyes bugged out after he said it.

Just before the flub, Anastos told weatherman Nick Gregory, “It takes a tough man to make a tender forecast,” a play on an old chicken commercial.

Fox isn’t laughing, though. The vice president and general manager of WNYW, Lew Leone, said he’s “disappointed” in Anastos’ comment and the anchor will apologize on the air Thursday evening.
