Quality Reporting
Don’t get me wrong, I do like WCCO Channel 4 News. It is the number one rated newscast in the Twin Cities, as it well should be. Consider one of its competitors, Fox 9 news, which has reported on (and aired “teaser” portions promoting) such life-changing issues as school bus drivers not showing up to work, rusty fire hydrants, and what your pets do when you leave the house. The pets piece was actually advertised on the radio the day that ground-breaking investigative masterpiece aired. Oh, and if you are wondering how Fox 9 cracked the mystery of what pets do: hidden cameras. Wow.
Regardless, while WCCO’s news about today’s weather in southern Minnesota was not inappropriate (it was actually news), their sense of humor in captions is simultaneously funny and … considering these are the people reporting our news … a little bit disturbing.

Fox News sucks Wanda. They made fun of my best friend's daughter on it. KARE 11 all the way baby! What other newsteam cares so much about their job that they put the word right in their name without passing it to the editor first?
