News Anchor Biden Picture Mistake

This is funny

A commentator plays a local Pittsburgh news clip about a 71-year-old man accused of inappropriately touching a 12-year-old girl. The broadcast accidentally shows a photo of Joe Biden during the story, while the female anchor and her male colleague react seriously; the irony between the grim report and the apparent mix-up is the joke. Used as a reaction to an awkwardly fitting mistake, a news blunder, or dark political humor.

It's depressing, however, a local channel in Pittsburgh accidentally put up a picture of Joe Biden during the wrong story. Or maybe it was the right one. A 71 year old man is accused of inappropriately touching a 12 year old girl, the one in West Oakland Sunday afternoon. Her colleague, Robby, saw the mistake and well, unlike me, he didn't think it was too funny.
