Journalist’s Slip Of Tongue On Live Television Creates A Meme Fest On Twitter. We Can’t Stop Laughing!
This is funny!
It’s not easy to do on-ground reporting as a journalist, and it can often turn out to create some embarrassing blunders. A recent video going viral on Twitter is a short news reporting clip where the journalist mistakenly used some slang words during the live streaming, hence creating an awkward situation for himself and the TV anchor. The tweet has some hilarious reactions to it, but the mistake looks like a genuine slip of the tongue. However, some may say that the journalist should have been well aware of his language.
What Is The Viral Video?
In this viral video, a news reporter makes a ghastly mistake of using a very common slang word while live streaming. While describing the ground report, he makes a silly grammatical mistake, however, the blunder does not stop there. When he realised the mistake, he stopped and corrected himself but while doing that, he uttered a popular slang out of frustration. The anchor immediately cut him off saying that his voice was not audible. This video clip has turned into meme material for people on Twitter. The Twitter user who shared the video gave a funny twist to it and turned the video into a meme. The slang used by the journalist is quite a popular one in Delhi, and therefore the video was well-suited for the joke “Tell me you’re from Delhi without telling me you’re from Delhi”. Here’s the tweet.

That man is one of the finest journalists I have known. I’m sure he didn’t know he is live.

Sh*t happens on live television. Too many teams, too little time, and the craziness of breaking news. It is entirely possible that the reporter was under the impression that he was not live and was merely recording a standup.
The anchor handled the situation well and the channel… https://t.co/qLVijEAgAz— Jagriti Chandra (@jagritichandra) April 23, 2024
Still more palatable than most prime time shows on Indian news channels. https://t.co/A0nOIbHPHr

Honestly, it did look like a mistake and there is a lot of pressure during on-ground reporting, and we should not shame a man’s professionalism just because he lost a calm for a few seconds. Although, it did turn out to be a hilarious moment!
