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".
