A San Diego news station apologized on Sunday for using a photo of President Obama in the place of a rape suspect during a report last week on a sexual assault case.
“We inadvertently used a photo of President Obama while reporting on a story about charges being dropped in a local case,” an anchor for KSWB told viewers. “We regret the error.”
The slip up happened on Friday evening, as a different anchor began a segment about a sexual assault case in San Diego State University.
As the anchor described the suspect, a photo of Obama flashed onscreen, with the words “no charges” hanging below.

Oopsy, our bad. It was completely unintentional. Honest.
And also too, we have lots of black friends!
Unintentional. Right.
Just like 'The check is in the mail".
A local FOX affiliate. You might want to include that in the text of the article as its quite possible that has more than a passing relevance.
Remember when stuff like that happened all the time to Bush/Clinton/Bush/Reagan?
Yeah, me neither.
Gosh almighty! What’s different, now??? Tis a mystery!
Ooops, the rape suspect inadvertently stuck his penis where it didn’t belong. Uh huh, we all believe that too.
