A few months later, in the wake of the April 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, Chung asked an Oklahoma City Fire Department spokesman, “Can the Oklahoma City Fire Department handle this?” Many viewers, particularly those in Oklahoma City, felt the question was insensitive to the situation. Thousands of viewers in Oklahoma and elsewhere called and wrote letters of protest over the tone of the questions. Moreover, co-anchor Dan Rather was irate that Chung was sent from New York to the assignment while he was already in nearby Texas. Consequently, after public outcry, and Rather's complaints, Chung was laid off as co-anchor of the CBS Evening News and was offered a demotion to weekend anchor or morning anchor.
seems to me it was more like "Can Oklahoma City handle this?"
I thought she also said something along the lines of, "Oklahomans are nothing but a bunch of beer drinking, pickup driving hicks."
I could be wrong about that, but that quote sticks in my mind.
Are people really that retarded to believe we're still cowboys and indians?
...then she put on a Walter Cronkite mask and yelled "Hook Em Whorns!"
Bitch!
We`re Not ? :eek:Quote:

I'm willing to bet they are. I have like a cousin who married this guy she met in college and moved to Hoboken, NJ. Well, my mother ordered flowers for her on some occasion and she was giving the woman our billing address and my hand to God (well according to my mother) the New Jersey florist asks her, "Is Oklahoma a state?"Quote:
