Earlier today, while reporting on the tragic news of Kobe Bryant’s passing, I unfortunately stuttered on air, combining the names of the Knicks and the Lakers to say “Nakers.” Please know I did not & would NEVER use a racist term. I apologize for the confusion this caused.— Alison Morris (@AlisonMorrisNOW) January 26, 2020 The Cancel Culture is coming for MSNBC host Alison Morris. She mangled her words on a broadcast today, mashing together "Knicks" and "Lakers" while referring to the shocking death of Kobe Bryant. Many people think she intentionally uttered the N-word, a ludicrous take but - on Twitter - it is somehow given credence. Here let me slow it down for you. She’s clearly NOT saying Nakers. She said

Jeremy Kappell misspoke and lost his job. This meteorologist refuses to fade into the sunset.
📻 Here's meteorologist Jeremy Kappell on his lawsuit vs Rochester's WHEC, the cruel actions of Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren & gutless TV general manager Dick Reingold, support from Al Roker, Don Lemon, Craig Melvin, and Rochester viewers, other weather people mispronouncing MLK without a beatdown, and how public shaming strengthened Jeremy's family & faith 🎙️ #bullies #media DETAILS on the Kappell website. Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren demanded Jeremy Kappell's firing without ever speaking to him or communicating with him in any capacity. Mayor Warren understands forgiveness as she is married to a man who drove the getaway car in a jewelry store robbery 20 years ago. She also defended a Rochester council member accused of embezzling tens of thousands of dollars,
TV meteorologist Jeremy Kappell on uproar from his mangled words, the gutless station manager, the callous Rochester mayor, love from Al Roker & Louisville colleagues, and what happens next
Jeremy Kappell was fired from WHEC-TV in Rochester, New York after he inadvertently said "Martin Luther Coon King Junior Memorial Park" on the air. In a radio interview with me tonight, Kappell said he never even heard his own mistake. Truth of intent didn't get in the way of a nice public stoning. Social Justice Warriors assembled the internet mob and ---BOOM!--- Kappell was fired. Ill-informed EMOTIONAL ALL CAPS INTERNET RAGING prevails over logic once again. Did anyone think to ask Jeremy Kappell's co-workers, neighbors, or other people in regular contact with him ask about his racial temperament? I worked with him. He's one of the kindest people I've ever known. His WHAS-TV workmates Ben Pine and Reed Yadon were
Rochester SJW mob gets meteorologist fired for mangled words
Former WHAS11 and WDRB meteorologist Jeremy Kappell was fired at a Rochester, New York station after the internet mob determined that his on air phrasing of Martin Luther King Junior's name was a deliberate racist shoutout. In what reasonable people would consider spoonerism, Kappell mashed up "King" and "Junior" and said "coon" and quickly corrected himself. It's the exact same verbal mashup that ESPN's Mike Greenwell tripped through a few years back without repercussion. Wait, what? That's right. The ESPN guy said "oops" and went on with his life back then. Today it's all about the WOKE factor. It doesn't matter what a person says in their own defense. The WOKE crowd is allowed to determine what is in another
