Fredricka Whitfield is expected to apologize today for her sloppy choice of words during breaking news coverage of a shooting attack on Dallas Police Headquarters Saturday.
Just after 1pmET — two hours in to her four hour anchor shift — Whitfield was discussing the shooting with CNN legal analyst Philip Holloway, when she said: “It was very courageous and brave — if not crazy as well — to open fire on police headquarters.”
We’re told Whitfield will explain the comments on her show today. The remarks came just hours after an ill-advised tweet from CNN anchor Christi Paul who, while covering the attack for New Day, posed with some popcorn during a commercial break. “Glad everyone is OK so far!” she tweeted.
