Opps. "George W. Bush: Professional Fascist"

Monty - the one and only

Viewers watching TV3 were surprised and confused as a graphic labelling George W. Bush a "professional fascist" flashed on the screen during its news service. The graphic was supposed to advertise an upcoming weather bulletin. A spokesperson for TV3 said the incident was being thoroughly investigated and is said to have been an "absolutely genuine mistake." It is not known whether any disciplinary action would be taken against the person who was responsible. The graphic was seen by as many as 360,000 viewers. "It was an absolute case of human error. The fact that it made it to air was extremely unfortunate and we apologise for any offence that may have been taken."

My dad saw something similar on RTE during the Nice referendum. a banner came up on RTE news about voting YES to Nice and then it dissapeared n a haze of Interference before getting back to the reporter...a mistake?
