Was his slur intentional and does it matter what his intent was.

What is with these white male newscasters who can’t pronounce MLK’s name correctly?!! It’s awfully strange.

Can't see the article because I refuse to allow ads. Can you give us the main meat of the article? The part where it describes what he said, in context?

Apparently others see what I see because he lost his job.

Op's headline is confusing... the first guy lost his job, this second guy didn't.

You're right. The 2nd guy from St Louis is Kevin Steincross. He didn't get fired.
