I hate NBC news, they suck. I have to watch them all the time, cuz me mum has the hots for Tom Brokaw ( !!)

Anyway, did they show any good shots of Bono??

I'm not expecting much from them.

 

[daisybean]

Not really, but I only only caught the tail end of it....I was so enraged over the Bone-o thing

. They were the same scenes that the AP pictures were taken from and a shot from the WEF.

I generally like NBC News (Tom Brokaw, The Today Show, etc) but Bone-o! Grrr....I SO hate that!

Those BONE-heads! Have they been living under a rock??? How could they not know how to say Bono's name the right way...he's been in the news constantly so there's just no excuse for that

Sheesh.

To think they go to so much trouble to pronounce every foriegn name and they mess up and Irish guy!!

 

[oktobergirl]

They probably did it on purpose.

THey suck, I tell ya.

This report is being reshown on "The News With Brian Williams" on MSNBC. I'm waiting for it now; it's about 8:18 p.m. I think the Brian Williams show is on at 11 p.m. too.

At least NBC had a report on Bono; I don't think ABC or CBS had anything about the trip on their evening newscasts.

I just saw it!!!! Thanks for letting me know so I could catch it!
It was actually pretty long, and they showed more or less all the pics we've already seen but in motion! Bono looked great and they really talked him up saying that he has been so busy all last year with concerts and all he is doing in Africa!
Definitely worth trying to see!
I didn't have my tape ready so I will try to catch it again later!

Thanks to daisy's hot tip, I was able to catch it at quarter to seven out here. I coulda sworn Brokaw corrected it: it sounded like he said Bono correctly. I wonder if he looped it for the West Coast edition? I was in the kitchen, so I didn't see Tom's lips moving (oh, no!). The report was okay, worth taping.

martha- I didn't hear any problem with how they were pronouncing it either! I was wondering if we saw the same show!

 

[Stories for Boys]

on thanksgiving jay leno said bone-o, and i burst out laughing...people are kind of ignorant...but then again, not everyone is obsessed like me...

I wasn't even paying attention to the news and I heard EBTTRT in the background and I immediately pressed record and I taped over some stuff that at least wasn't U2 related. *whew*
Actually Brokaw wasn't the one who pronounced his name wrong it was the reporter who was doing the story on Bono and O'Neill's trip to Africa.

I can't believe these reporter are this stupid. Bono and U2 have been around for what.....close to 20 years now. U2 are internationally known, yet they still can't say Bon-Oh? How freakin hard is it to say Bon-oh. Not Bo-no, like Sony Bono, just BON-OH! Sheesh

Who cares?

 

[the_fly2002]

It's not such a big deal, but these reporters can at least get pronounce Bono's name right, how hard could it be?
