CNN let the new year in with some NSFW fake names

One of the risks of live TV is the possibility of something not safe for work slipping through the checks. GB News knows exactly what that’s like, after a series of NSFW prank names made it to air.

It’s a technological car crash. Either there’s a real Mike Hunt out there, or someone was having a laugh… editorial discretion should be advised… #GBNews pic.twitter.com/jhCPl6cwdO

Amazing. GB news is already getting trolled with fake names. Mike Oxlong, we also had a Mike Hunt. This channel is an utter joke! Whoever is setting these just please keep bombarding them with them! #GBeebies pic.twitter.com/h9DPHTKam1

As they rang in the new year, CNN suffered a similar fate at the hands of some Twitter pranksters – or perhaps one, with a few accounts.

Of course, it could be a horrible misunderstanding.
