KTLA, widely regarded as a mouthpiece for the California Democrat Party, is under fire after a shocking racial slur was posted to its official account on X.
The Los Angeles-based outlet is now scrambling to save face, claiming the shocking post was nothing more than a “technical error.”
The now-deleted post, which included the full “N-word,” was live on KTLA’s X account long enough to spark immediate backlash.
KTLA quickly attempted to downplay the incident, blaming a so-called “technical error” related to a language filter gone wrong.
According to the carefully curated PR statement, the station claimed: “KTLA experienced a technical error while adding language filters to our social media accounts, resulting in an offensive word being accidentally shared. We are appalled and apologize that this occurred.”
