Well, this isn't on the potentially-dangerous scale of CNN's incompetence covering the Boston Marathon bombings this past week, but it certainly is worth raising an eyebrow over!

Especially as it implicates our beloved Zooey Deschanel in the tragedy!

That's right, apparently, a closed captioning program used on a local Fox station misunderstood the news anchor's pronunciation of 19-year-old suspect Dzhokhar A. Tsarnaev during their coverage of the 24-hour manhunt that took place in Watertown, Massachusetts yesterday, and transcribed it for all viewers to see as:

Just now waking up, sleepy bear?

Well don't you worry that mascara-riddled faced off, cuz we've got all the #Election2012 news for you right here!

And no, we're not just talking about President Obama's re-election. …even though those 303 electoral votes were pretty fabulous. And so was that speech!

We're talking about Colorado legalizing recreational marijuana!

We're talking about the American masses, even celebrities, going out to rock the vote!

Yes, even after Beyonce wrote her beautiful letter to Barack, the country was still able to sizzle hotter with election day fire!

O wrote a letter of his own to a bullied, young daughter of two fathers.

If only every news report could come with an #Election2012 Diane Sawyer!

Along with the massive wave of "CALIFORNIA" tweets, the ones bitching about how long we had to wait for the speeches, and the 'Happy Warrior' jokes, Diane's buzzed coverage had Twitterville buzzin' with commentary.

Glorious, glorious commentary.

But guess what! Unlike that sh*t you talk about your neighbors, Diane saw everything you said!!

And she took it all in awesome stride, tweet-tweeting:

Bob Costas is a famous sports announcer and was the main face of NBC's Olympic coverage.

What's just great is that he's just like the rest of us, he agrees NBC did a pretty terrible job of covering the Olympics!

He was recently on Conan and was absolutely tearing up NBC!

He even got Conan to call him his "best guest ever."

Check out the video (above) to see Costas tear NBC a new one!

NBC and Twitter have teamed up to defend NBC's coverage of the London 2012 Summer Olympics.

The results of almost every single event were well known to many way before they saw it actually air.

NBC chose to time delay instead of showing the events live because they wanted to wait for primetime and get more money.

Awww DUDES!

NBC has been majorly criticized throughout their entire 2012 Olympic Games coverage, and THEN they go and cut half the Iconic British-musician STUFFED pie that was the closing ceremony in favor of some new comedy about an animal hospital…

Nice.

Legendary acts like The Who, Ray Davies of the Kinks, a special performance featuring a Kate Bush classic (above), and Matt Bellamy of Muse were completely cut OUT from the US' broadcast, and now new show Animal Practice is already surrounded by a toxic cloud of anti-NBC negativity. Frustrating to the maximus!!

We cannot even begin to imagine what this poor woman must be going through right now.

This is a decision that no mother should ever have to make.

A week after Kyle Glover, Usher's stepson with Tameka Foster, was declared brain dead after a tragic jet ski accident in Georgia, we've now learned that the singer's ex-wife will be forced to take the 11-year-old off of life-support as soon as early August, as his insurance coverage will expire.
