WGN marks Yom Kippur with Nazi emblem

Poor choice of background graphics for the Jewish High Holiday story on the news on Chicago's WGN-TV. They used the patch that Nazi Germany required Jews to wear during the Holocaust. From Talking Points Memo:

In a statement posted online, the station said the picture came from its image bank, and they "failed to recognize that the image was an offensive Nazi symbol."

"We are extremely embarrassed and we deeply apologize to our viewers and to the Jewish community for this mistake," the WGN statement said. "Ignorance is not an excuse."

The station was also taking apologies to its viewers out of the public sphere, with "J. Lyons, News Dir." directing individual users to direct message WGN's account.
