The Twitterverse exploded Thursday when National Public Radio published a story about sportscaster Maria Taylor and mistakenly included a picture of fellow reporter Kimberley A. Martin.
NPR blamed the mistake on the Associated Press, which had previously published a photo mixing Martin and Taylor up.
Martin brought the mistake to the attention of her 42,000 Twitter followers.
“Cmon guys…. We don’t *ALL* look-alike,” Martin posted using an exasperated GIF file.
Taylor has been in the news after she left ESPN following a controversy with colleague Rachel Nichols that centered on the network’s “crappy longtime record on diversity.”
Taylor will reportedly be part of NBC’s wall-to-wall coverage of the Summer Olympic Games that begin Friday in Tokyo.
“The visual representation of @NPR on full display,” tweeted one person. “Other than both women being exceedingly beautiful and talented, they couldn’t be more opposite in the sports they cover or in their appearances.”
