there's supposed to be informative but
from time to time they can also be
hilarious this construction is happening
along North Michigan starting at
Houghton Avenue and going all the way to
State Avenue
drivers are down to the single lane in
each direction welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we're counting down our picks
for the top 10 newest reporting fails
Holly is a 13 year old cat who dislikes
the outdoors and other physical
activities for this list we're counting
down the most epic fails in the history
of the news can you tell us a little
more of what you saw I sure can I was
sitting on my front porch
grabbed a beer and we're writing a book
these can involve reporters journalists
as well as anchors and in studio
personalities the three victims were
part of us the XS right no [ __ ] number
10 what kind of job was that
JLo's new song Jenny from the block all
about Lopez roots in the modern age of
twenty four-hour-a-day news reporters
who at one time did everything they
could to be taken seriously are now
pushed to treat lightweight fluff as
sincerely as world-changing news still a
neighborhood gal at heart perhaps
Shepard Smith had had enough so when he
was given a story about Jennifer Lopez's
latest music video he chose to inject
something a little different into his
delivery as a form of protest but folks
from that Street in New York the Bronx
section sound more likely to give her a
curve job than a blow job our book block
party perhaps he had a thing for the
singer and had something on his mind or
perhaps he just got mixed up and it came
out wrong either way this story took a
turn for the dirty quite quickly
sorry about that slip-up there
I have no idea how that happened but it
won't happen again and that's your news
number 9 make-believe get a plane crash
29th and King drive one of the most
important aspects of bringing the news
to the public is cultivating an ability
to get to the truth of any story and not
let lies and deception deter you this is
being shot as part of a TV show they
might want to tell the news folks how
someone in the chain of command of this
news station was not able to stop these
anchors from treating this TV set as a
legitimate crash scene will never cease
to amaze us do you think they have these
problems of channel 7 I don't think so
we can only imagine if the copter camera
penned a little bit more to the side
that there would have to be cameras crew
and maybe even trailers or catering
fully in view we do have some more
breaking news if we can go back to my
computer for the live there's something
going on near Soldier Field number 8 jet
slack good morning everybody I'm hanging
out with my friend John when you first
wake up in the morning and find your way
to the nearest TV one of the last things
you'd probably expect to see is a grown
man slammed into the sea Fox 5 Morning
News starts look over there and it's
starts right now using a water powered
jet pack when you have what we presume
is little TV experience may sound like a
fun idea at first but it also may just
lead to internet infamy what is that
when the anchors burst out into
uncontrollable laughter at your
misfortune immediately thereafter and
that fate is virtually ensured still
looks wicked fun though it's a water
powered jet that almost took Matt
Johnson down with them that looks like
fun number 7 can't handle the pressure
forces in Spain
I'm not gonna do it anymore
another morning show this time in
Australia sent a reporter on a mission
he couldn't handle
there is up in the sky above earth at
the mercy of a pilot who's used to the
rigors of playing tricks a mild-mannered
presenter made the mistake of
encouraging a man to push him to his
limits
the look of just holding back vomit and
exhilaration on his face soon gives way
to one in which he seems at peace as
unconsciousness takes him
okay all right number six news lessons
all right expect you gently don't let
her go away this said that's what does
she have a response to she's still there
what's that did the lady just leave yeah
there are few things in the world more
awkward than suddenly finding yourself
working under somebody who you were at
one time the boss up because I was your
boss once yeah you were and are no
longer how did that happen probably the
worst case scenario is when you find
yourself at odds with him while live on
television but at least you can rest
assured that your embarrassment is
creating some amazing TV for the rest of
the world right so what do you want now
well if I have to teach you how to be a
reporter Ally I'll do that later why
don't you do that later Jimbo I think
the lady expressed herself we can't help
but love every second of this anchor and
reporter engaging in schoolyard level
taunts in which should otherwise be a
very serious environment is there any
question you'd like me to ask her and no
I'll give you lessons on how to become a
reporter I'll give you some lessons on
how to be an editor number five unique
introduction your news leader in high
definition
gay [ __ ] good evening I'm van kieu you
may have seen our news AJ on and seeing
North Dakota news and he'll be joining
the weekend news team as my co-anchor at
one time the world of television was
dominated by a few networks that had a
stranglehold on what you saw on your
sets as a result only the most seasoned
experienced people got the chance to
helm the news in our modern world where
there are seemingly as many stations as
there are stars in the sky there are
many more opportunities for unknowns to
grace your TV tell us a little bit about
yourself AJ thanks man I'm very excited
I graduated from West Virginia
University and I'm used to you know from
being from the East Coast an example of
why that's not a good thing AJ
Clemente's first seconds on air were
stained with vulgarity and awkwardness
that got him fired runners participated
in the London Marathon today less than a
week after the bombings as well as on
Letterman talking about his
the stakes went home crawled in bed and
called my parents yeah and what did they
say oh don't worry about it
at first they were you know a little it
was an emotional conversation AJ who won
the London Marathon number four Instant
Karma
yeah sure yeah disgusting all right you
ready give us a 30 second time here we
go
arguably there is nothing more visceral
than seeing or hearing someone in
extreme pain and knowing exactly what is
going through their mind after trying to
trick her opponent into momentarily
stopping her grapes topping the reporter
falls face-first into the ground
she's clearly in extreme pain and most
of us can relate in the immediate
aftermath of suffering many of us may
try to put up a front that the
experience isn't as bad as it seems so
it would take an all-encompassing pain
that our brains wouldn't be able to
ignore to make us drop that facade the
end of this news segment is the
incarnation of that effect and we can't
stop listening to it though we're also
cringing at the same time oh I think
she's actually hurt no I think she is
actually her she took a hard fall off
there
well hey gosh I hope she's okay okay
number three boom goes the dynamite well
the Ball State softball team continued
to play this weekend and they were
hoping they'd continue off of their
straight three out of four losses you'd
think that the two segments of the news
that seem the most clear-cut and easy to
handle would be the weather and sports
tomorrow's game will be the meeting
between the two beating both
first the latter is oftentimes just
spouting stat and scores with a few
moments of personal opinions or
witticisms thrown in
they started off good but then
eventually but the Ball State women's
that women's team shut down and ended up
doing poorly oh no as such many couch
potatoes who loved sports may fancy
themselves a good fit for the role if
you happen to know someone with
delusions of grandeur about their
potential as a sportscaster or reporter
and you want to shut them up then this
clip is for you it seems last week
player on it seems every week that you
have a player sometimes incapable of
even stringing a sentence together this
reporter can only spout one memorable
line convincingly later he gets the
rebound passes it to the man shoots it
and boom goes the dynamite and that is
it for us today number two we'll do it
live okay but now I can't read it
there's no there's no words on it unlike
some of the other reporters on this list
bill o'reilly is a very seasoned
television personality it may be because
of that that he feels comfortable being
a complete dick while on set alright go
go when the teleprompter doesn't display
what he expects instead of being a
professional and working to rectify the
situation he at first barely holds in
his unbridled rage and then completely
unleashes it on those behind the scenes
i don't know what that means to play us
out what does that mean to end the show
yeah yeah the fact that he's aware that
he's being filmed by the very people
he's unleashing on speaks to his pompous
belief that they've never shared the
footage with others luckily for all of
us he was very wrong we'll leave you
with a I can't do it we'll do it live
well do it live doing live I could all
right it and we'll do it live and thank
sucks
before we reveal our top pick here are a
few honorable or in this case
dishonorable mentions well a very very
heavy heavy do it burped ation tonight

school that led to Chris Wood's death is

crippling much of the Washington
lowlands one of three inches of snow

head like that gotta move we're going to
interview Eric why had mayor who climbed
the highest mountain in the world Mount
Everest but he's gay I mean he's gay
excuse me he's blind Erin again
gratulations on your big hooters man to
make a tender forecast Nick number-10
prank radar KTVU has just learned the
names of the four pilots who were on
board the flight
when Asiana Airlines flight 214 crashed
on its final approach to an airport in
San Francisco it had the focus of eyes
and ears worldwide even in this most
grave of circumstances there are those
among us that saw it as an opportunity
for jokes and levity they are captain
some ting Wong we too low holy fook and
bang ding ow the NTSB has confirmed
these are the names of the pilots on
board flight 214 when it crashed we are
working to determine exactly what roles
each of them played during the landing
after years of falling for fake names
even mo from the Simpson
may have balked at just how ridiculous a
name like some ting Wong sounds when
read aloud yes there a botch here
Seymour butts hey everybody I want to
see more box but somehow it's still made
it to live TV with the Bay Area's KTVU
channel 2 news reporting several
incorrect pilot names as fact I thought

and I didn't understand how that went
through even South Korean media
expressed outrage American media that
has been driving the cause of the
accident as pilots fault mock the pilots
names in a racially demeaning fashion do
