Well, good for her - great reporting. Now just hope the FCC doesn't bust the station. Can you say 'fucking' on TV yet?
As for the offensive slang, this is a sore spot with me and the PC press. The AP stylebook used to say you had to make quotes exact, yet I have seen writers say shit like "Woman is the N-word of the world" a quote of John Lennon who did not utter 'N-word.'
I contend that when reporting on nutcase racists you get the full impact of quoting their diatribes exactly. Or, you can say as they usual do, "this guy wrote on facebook that he had a problem with these F-word N-words."

Clearly they weren't expecting her to read it verbatim and had no delay.

But they had to blur the written text?

I will actually be surprised if the FCC doesn't impose a fine. That should have been indirectly quoted with better taste.
