WDIV's Lauren Podell is the latest broadcaster to drop an F-bomb on the air, as the Detroit reporter inadvertently cursed over a technical issue, not knowing she was on live TV at the time.
While covering a story about a fire Wednesday, Podell was heard saying, "I don't have IFB, I don't know when we're going, neither does Jim, I can't get this f***ing in there!" (IFB is a technical term illustrating the communication between the newsroom and the field reporter's earpiece.)
