Did CNN reporter say Halli-butt-TRON' ??? |
|
My husband called me here in TX from St Louis where he is working this week. He said some voice-over on CNN called Halliburton "Halli-butt-TRON'.
Figures. That's what we get when the media hires models as "journalists".

4. I bet it was deliberate. |
|
A subtle, personal jab at a corporate master or two? Perhaps.

2. Actually there is a lot of truth in that pronunciation |
|
Enron and Halli-tron are about the same aren't they? And butt you can decide for yourself about that.
