Ours is going for the heartwarming approach. Report on some experimental drug that could cure cancer ... in kids!!! Lots of tears.

 

Takes only a few of Chuck Norris' tears

Nothing here. There's just one of those direct-mail brochure/money giveaways every night.

 

Did the one of the station's also have his face painted in the local big school's colors and fellate it's coach on the air, all in the name of being a big-time reporter?

 

Our local affiliates do that at least once a week.

 

MaryAnne's better!

 

MARVN ZINDLER!!!!

 

One station did a Facebook feature -- what does your profile photo say about you?

 

Too bad he never cries ...

A local CBS affiliate did a hard-hitting piece on how people (gasp!) speed through school zones at 11:30 in the morning "putting your kids in danger" (the dude going 28 in a 20 while your kids are behind a brick wall is probably not putting anybody in danger save himself).

Unfortunately, it led to a clarification of state law. Now, instead of the school zone signs saying "speed limit 20 when children are present," it now says "speed limit 20, 7 a.m-4 p.m." Some speed-trap happy communities set it at ridiculous hours, like 7-7 (how many kids are you endangering by going 35mph down a road at 6:55 p.m.?)
