CNN ANCHOR LEAVES MIC ON IN THE POTTY---

But that's not the worst of it.



CNN Anchor Kyra Phillips spoke "potty talk" in the bathroom, too. CNN and Ms. Phillips have since apologized for upstaging a presidential speech. Watch and listen here:




As a reporter, I've always been told to assume that my mic is hot (meaning that it's on.) It's easy to forget that saying, though...What do you think?

As a reporter I've been caught with the open mic. Not too cool I learned my lesson but, it for sure didn't rise to the level of this.
The audio guy was also obviously a genius. I wonder what's going to happen to her? There's no questions it's the reporters responsibility. Other people have the responsibility of backing her up. I bet her brother's happy.

Hi Michelle,

My name is Ann and I saw your post on the KAAN newsletter. Just wanted to say hi from NYC from one Korean adoptee to another. It sounds like we have some things in common related to the adoption experience. Anyway, I'd love to tell you more about my org and our upcoming event for adoptees in Oct. If you'd like more info, email me at mckinnon.ann@gmail.com. Thanks and take care!

Totally funny. I saw the article about it on the BBC website. It is nice to know that moments such as this don't happen only on the local news level.
