Zooey Deschanel Gets Apology After Misidentified as Boston Bomber During TV Coverage

President of TV captioning service Caption
Solutions has reached out to the 'New Girl'
actress, saying that they 'deeply regret' the
mistake.
Zooey Deschanel
has received a
formal apology
after being
mistakenly
identified as one
of the Boston
Marathon
bombing suspects
during FOX's
coverage of the
incident. On
Tuesday, April
23, Kala J.
Patterson,
president of
Caption Solutions
which is based in Lawrence, Kansas, said in a
statement that they "deeply regret" the
mistake and "sincerely apologize for this
error."
Last week, FOX network affiliate KDFW in
Dallas-Fort Worth ran a caption which falsely
named her as the Boston Marathon bomber
during its coverage of the manhunt for the real
suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. The caption read,
"Marathon Bomber. He is 19-year-old Zooey
Deschanel."
Learning the blunder, the " New Girl" actress
took to Twitter to react, "Whoa! Epic closed
captioning FAIL!" Peter Ogburn, a radio show
producer and writer, who also noticed the
error tweeted, "Oh come on, Fox."
College student Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, one of the
Boston Marathon bombing suspects, was
arrested on April 19 after he was holed up
inside a boat in a Watertown neighborhood.
The other suspect, Dzhokhar's brother
Tamerlan Tsarnaev, was gunned down in a
police shootout in Watertown after he killed a
cop at Massachusetts Institute of Technology
campus.
