An Open Letter to WSMV
October 22nd, 2006 — Television
Dear Heartless Dipshits,
Are you all high? I know it is the weekend when you’ve got your B-team in, but this is stupefying:
"Coming Up at 10: The U.S. military’s worst nightmare–an escalation of violence in Iraq…and here at home a war of a different kind [cut to video of donuts]" (emphasis mine)
Now, WSMV, you’ll forgive me if I do not know precisely what the "war of a different kind" story was about, as I was too busy yelling WTF at my television.
How did this happen? An associate producer wrote it, no doubt, but then the producer had to okay it, and potentially the executive producer had to okay it, and then the anchors had to actually read it aloud. How did no one scream, "Hello people, this is some tacky shit! We should not compare record-high deaths of American soldiers and innocent Iraqis with fried and glazed pastries whose main claim to fame is their holes! We should rethink this tease!"?
Please try harder.
Thinking of you,
Brittney

Yesterday I was watching the news. The boyfriend was within earshot in the other room.
TV Reporter: "And, for more coverage of Sara Evans and her scandalous divorce just visit our website."
The Boyfriend: "What do I need to do for less coverage?"
