Maybe they cut her out too fast but whatever she was saying was making no sense at all.
"I've been living here for five years and there ain't no way no motherfucker-" ? Is that right?
I don't get it why people get so rused when someone says 'fuck' on TV.
Who the fuck cares, it' a swear word like any other swear word.

Swearing is unprofessional, the same reason the doctor doesn't walk into the exam room and say "holy fucking shit lmao you are sooooo fucked, this tumor gonna kick ur ass nigga lol damn"

In the states, it isn't about professionalism, it's about people are just soft sheltered people. Like when Tyson called that guy a piece of shit the other day, everyone's FREAKING OUT and in the studio everyone gasped and that guy was sorry and offended. He wasn't offended that he was called a piece of shit, he was offended that the word shit was used. I mean him bringing up Tyson's irrelevant past about his rape conviction from 1991 was as low as a blow could get, far worse and more insulting, but no one seems to care about the context in which language is used, only if particular parts of it are used at all, and then everyone gets so thrown and upset and offended over it as if a bomb went off in a super market
You go live in the hood during a disaster, you're going to get some F bombs. I don't know what they expected

So why is it that bad that a she is swearing. Your argument is valid if it was the newscaster swearing, but not for the woman caught in a storm(last part is guessing).
You guys are pretty uptight when it comes to swearing.

Because it's the program that's supposed to be professional. If you were to put on a presentation to the general public about a storm that happened, you aren't going to want to refer to this storm as "this motherfucker". Just because it was a person and not the news anchor that said it doesn't make it any better, they don't want that on their news channel and they were shocked when it happened because they didn't have control over it. A lot of the older generation would be very offended if the news station consistently interviewed people who swore, and he'd probably just switch to a news channel without the swearing. To keep their viewers, it's better to just not have anyone swear.

And don't pull out the "why is swearing bad it's just a word" argument because we're not going to drag this thread down with the etymology of swear words

[quote]fuck (v.)
until recently a difficult word to trace, in part because it was taboo to the editors of the original OED when the "F" volume was compiled, 1893-97...
Written form only attested from early 16c. OED 2nd edition cites 1503, in the form fukkit...
; earliest appearance of current spelling is 1535... ..."Bischops ... may fuck thair fill and be vnmaryit" [Sir David Lyndesay, "Ane Satyre of the Thrie Estaits"]...
The word apparently is hinted at in a scurrilous 15c. poem, titled "Flen flyys," written in bastard Latin and Middle English. The relevant line reads
[i]Non sunt in celi
quia [b]fuccant[/b] uuiuys of heli[/i]
[b]The earliest examples of the word otherwise are from Scottish, which suggests a Scandinavian origin, perhaps from a word akin to Norwegian dialectal fukka "copulate," or Swedish dialectal focka "copulate, strike, push," and fock "penis."[/b]
Another theory traces it to Middle English fyke, fike "move restlessly, fidget," which also meant "dally, flirt," and probably is from a general North Sea Germanic word[/quote]
Etymology is fun!

This is my favorite bit
[quote]Flying fuck originally meant "have sex on horseback"[/quote]
