We're in the video business now, which means we have to watch more TV, which means we watch CNBC, which means we watch Erin Burnett--and you're certainly not going to hear us objecting to that. But we can confirm firsthand the Post's story that Erin said "sh*....t" on air the other morning.
It was scripted, though. As we recall, the line went something like this:
"Apple was the It stock of 2007 and now it's the Sh*.....t stock of 2008." That's just how she read it--with a wince and a wink and a smile. (While wearing a leather suit, no less).
The Post adds that "CNBC flack Brian Steel later insisted to Page Six: "It was a
scripted play on words - not an expletive."
The FCC SWAT teams are no doubt raiding CNBC's offices as we speak. Or would be, if CNBC weren't cable.
