WANE TV & Media Gaffe of the Week


Apparently, any picture of a tractor will suffice.


The above picture shows a hard-working Indiana farmer.
The Maven thinks WANE TV means this: 


In an area that is so heavily influenced agriculture, both economically and socially, one would think that someone would understand just how foolish this makes the WANE TV news product appear. 
However, the reality of local TV news, especially in Fort Wayne, is that youth and inexperience often determine what news we see and what stories get covered, especially on weekends. 




The 'young skulls full of mush' appear to be in control. 





For those at WANE TV who would like more information about tractor pulling, you might want to tip your assignment editor (you still have one of those?) to a local event that draws more audience than your nightly newscasts: The Arcola National Truck and Tractor Pull
