FW Media Does Not Disappoint


When it comes to idiocy and ineptness, one can always count on Fort Wayne media to deliver giggles and grins.

First up, for all our "typo" fans, WANE TV does not let us down. Watch out for those "slicks roads"....


Now, on a more philosophical level, WPTA's story about a suspicious death, this morning, at a local motel seems to indicate that, 9 hours later, police are still swarming the scene, and the coroner's staff are still on the scene, after established business hours. The reality is that everyone has gone home with the exception of a lonely security guard watching the scene.



 This story was added to the WPTA website just after noon today and has not been updated since....even after the story was mentioned during the 6:00pm news cast. It's incredible that the kids at WPTA would lead their audience to believe that 9 hours later, police are still present, in full force at the scene. 

While this does not rise to the trendy term of "fake news", it does qualify for the Maven's category of "stupid news".

    Agreed on both counts.
    All the stations are wonderfully notorious for having typo-demons looming over them daily.
    And yes, we need a line drawn between the fake news and the stupid news...lol.

    Well said.

    Stay safe.
