Recycled news story on NBC10

O

OldNumber7

If there was ever a need for any proof that most winter storm stories are just the same old-same old, I give you the lead story on NBC10's 4 pm news today. It was an overview from an NBC affiliate about the current cold spell and snowy weather in the south and midwest. It all sounded and looked about right -- shots of buses struggling on a street and reports of heavy snow on the ground and more expected in Syracuse and Cleveland etc. -- but it was from LAST MONDAY. The giveaways: 1) the narrator says "with still more than 2 weeks until the first day of winter (it's now about a week away) and 2) "the president commented on the snow during a stop today in Winston-Salem" and showed Obama's joke about snow in Carolina (that was LAST Monday).
Who at the station vets this stuff? Obviously no one. And I'm sure I was in a teeny tiny minority of viewers who noticed.
Is someone at the station saying, "We don't have a good package on the storm. Oh well, we'll just rack last week's package."
 
OldNumber7, it's really quite simple. STOP WATCHING local TV news and your life will be better for it, and your intelligence will not be insulted. Too many other options to be informed and entertained in the digital age than consuming a product that's become passe.
 
OldNumber7,
You are absolutely right. I think that is outrageous not to mention cheap and lazy! There is a reason 10 has fallen to dead last at 6pm and 11 over the last couple of years. Also their very cheap looking clear news desk doesn't help much either. It looks like it was made out of plexiglass!
