FJ2000 5 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 At the top of the news, she issued an on-air apology for comments that she made on the news last night, and she apologized to anyone who was offended. She didn't say about what. Does anyone know what this is about? I watched last night, and I didn't notice anything wrong.

Jess 1115 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 Maybe it was for the extremely ad-libbed end of the newscast? I don't recall anything really wrong with that last night, but that was the only thing I could really remember....

Steven 0 Posted March 15, 2007 Share Posted March 15, 2007 People have become way too sensitive today. I don’t know what she said, but why do people have to keep apologizing for their opinions or comments. If you don’t like what someone said – too bad – get over it.

NewsWatcher 0 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 She apoligized for using the word-"retard". Last night she said she feel like a retard sometimes but I can't remember why she said it. But when she apologized she didnt use the word again Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/817-dawn-stensland-issues-an-apology-on-the-air/#findComment-6499 Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCAUTVNBC10 413 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 Normally I'm anti-pc anything, but I have to call it the way I see it and "retard" is a sensitive word and she shouldn't have used it on air. I'm quite sure many people with mentally challenged family members called in complaining. As an anchor she should have chosen better words than that.

williamsvoice 0 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 As a person with two autistic brothers, it did kind of irk me to see Dawn blatantly say the word but it was nice to see she apologized on the matter. Wonder how many folks wrote into the station on the matter...

nigelbruce 0 Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 A person who worked with her a while ago tells me there is no way this remark is indicative of her attitude about individuals less fortunate. Mistake no question about it. But it is not where she is at.
