Have you ever said "Martin Luther Coon" when you meant to say "Martin Luther King"?

This is the second story in which a newscaster has said “Martin Luther Coon” instead of “Martin Luther King”. He claims it was an honest mistake.
For those who don’t know, coon is an ethnic slur for a black person.
What do you think? Honest mistake? Or are these newscasters racist?
