So the media gossip tree is rumbling that WFAA-Channel 8 (ABC) is replacing Jackie Hyland with Cynthia Izaguirre.

Cynthia’s internet claim to fame is when she was anchoring in Albuquerque she breathlessly informed the viewers that they were about to meet a “gay” mountain climber! The verbal faux pas was supposed to have informed viewers that the Mount Everest climber was in fact “blind“.

Crank up Don Henley’s “Dirty Laundry” and click here to see the video gaffe for yourself!
