KTLA, widely regarded as a mouthpiece for the California Democrat Party, is under fire after a shocking racial slur was posted to its official account on X.
The Los Angeles-based outlet is now scrambling to save face, claiming the shocking post was nothing more than a “technical error.”
The now-deleted post, which included the full “N-word,” was live on KTLA’s X account long enough to spark immediate backlash.

KTLA quickly attempted to downplay the incident, blaming a so-called “technical error” related to a language filter gone wrong.
According to the carefully curated PR statement, the station claimed: “KTLA experienced a technical error while adding language filters to our social media accounts, resulting in an offensive word being accidentally shared. We are appalled and apologize that this occurred.”

But many online weren’t buying the excuse.
One X user commented, “My guess is they tested a content filter to make sure they couldn’t post such words. They picked the wrong word to test and the test failed.”
Another pushed back bluntly: “That doesn’t look like a technical error.”
A separate commenter blasted the station’s credibility: “You should be appalled and apologize for your shoddy journalism.”
And one user didn’t hold back: “KTLA is one of the most far left networks in LA which says a lot..they call themselves “The progressive network” their news anchors have all been caught up in scandals”
