Credible Witness

In their latest series of self-promotional spots, KPLR - WB 11 congratulates themselves for running, "credible, newsworthy reports" during their nightly news broadcast in February. Because the last thing we expect from a news show is...um....news?

Anyway, these promo spots feature snippets from last month's reports showing reasonably attractive on-air personalities holding microphones (outside, in nature, where it is cold, especially in February) while a very austere narrator explains WB-11's definition of "credible, newsworthy reports."

Let's see...there were teens jacked up on cough medicine with B-roll from Walgreens; somebody shot somebody and somebody talked about it exclusively; there was a fire or something like that - ya know, things you don't see too often in "real news."

Honestly, I just forget....I was waiting for Charmed to come back on, so I wasn't actually engaged in my TV experience. Power of Three!!!!!!!!

Besides, the WB for news? Please.... if I want credibile reporting, I'll just stick to Fox.
