Fox 5 anchor Ernie Anastos stuns viewers with four-letter 'chicken' gaffe - Telegraph
It's not the story, or the reporting of it. They're fine.
It's the"f---ing".
Even at the end, right next to "plucking".
The Telegraph fears - no doubt rightly - that some readers will be offended by the word "fucking", even in a story about a man saying the word "fucking".
It believes - wrongly - that these people should be protected from the profound psychological consequences of choosing to read a story with the phrase "four-letter" in the headline.
So, who's chicken now?
