Show Me Just ONE Flaw....Vol 1

From the Maven's email: "I dare you to find just one flaw in our news reporting".

Maven asks: "just one"?

Let's see. There was the time you told me that the entire city of Indianapolis died in a fire in Tennessee


When Columbia City was building a new water park, your fuzzy math skills were on parade. (hint, you're about 300k off)


How about the time you did a story about Amtrak passenger service but showed me a picture of a Norfolk-Southern freight train.....


Was it a "medically-induced" beating?


True to form, WPTA21 fouled up Melissa's last newscast. 



How about the time that WANE-TV invented "Future News" reporting stories HOURS before they ever happened?


The WOWO kids, reinventing the English language:

The Maven recalls when WFFT put their reporter and camera in the median of Coliseum Blvd during a snowstorm....imploring viewers to "be safe".


WFFT isn't the only station to put reporters lives in peril. Check this screenshot of storm damage and their reporter-ette standing within arm's reach of a fallen power pole and arching wires:


And to wrap up this edition of "show me just one flaw" the Maven presents the "we're the media elite and you're just an ignorant viewer" award:

Meanwhile, out in "21 Country" someone might be holding their Nielsen diary and thinking "keep calm, and kiss my ass".

    ---All I can say is WOW, you sure have been busy.
    But given their penchant for inaccuracy and grammatical errors, it's little surprise that ANY of these were THAT hard to uncover.

    very nice job.

    Stay safe out there.
