In a scene reminiscent of Ron Burgundy in “Anchorman,” CNN’s Don Lemon — one of Columbia Journalism Review’s “Worst of 2014” — accidentally said “bulls**t” on air last night while reading a quote from this Mediaite article where Bill O’Reilly defends himself from allegations that he embellished his prior war reporting. Oops:

Heh.
And here’s the clip from “Anchorman” that prompting our comparison of Lemon to the fictional Ron Burgundy. (Again, language warning):
“For the last time, anything you put on that prompter, Burgundy — or Don Lemon — will read!”
