Fox CT Apologizes For 'Inappropriate' Video
File Footage Aired During Morning News Report On Women's Day At State Capitol

FOX CT apologized Wednesday for airing what it called "inappropriate file footage" of women during a Morning News report on Women's Day at the state Capitol.

"The video should never have aired," the company said in a statement. "FOX CT will publicly apologize on today's newscasts, as well as through our social media platforms. We are also implementing procedures to keep this from happening in the future."

The footage, of fully clothed women, focused on their breasts and drew immediate criticism on Facebook, Twitter and other online news sites.

"The airing of the footage is repugnant and is not of the level of a credible news organization," said Jacqueline Kozin, co-president of the Connecticut chapter of the National Organization of Women. "FOX CT News, whether they intended to or not, has just inserted their organization into a culture war and sent the message that women should not be taken seriously. It is an insult to the female employees at Fox and to women throughout Connecticut."

2. Blur the line????

What line??? I don't think the Onion does any writing now, they just hop on over to the Fox Network and transcribe what they find.

Sounds like the newscaster was having a difficult time getting through it.
