Abstract

It’s not a good time to be a newscaster in the US. The latest controversy to hit broadcasters concerns Kristi Capel, a morning news presenter on Cleveland Ohio’s Fox 8 network. The morning after Lady Gaga had wowed the Oscars ceremony with her Sound of Music medley, Capel commented, live on air, whilst giggling and gesticulating, “It’s hard to really hear her [Ga Ga’s] voice with all that jigaboo music that she does, or whatever you want to call it. Jigaboo.”
