The Onion investigates breaking news
Cory Bergman August 28th, 2006
Very funny Onion story today:
“Despite claims from the TV news outlet to offer ‘nonstop news’ and ‘coverage you can count on,’ an Onion investigation has uncovered hundreds of instances in which KAMR Channel 4’s 10 O’Clock Eyewitness News team relied almost exclusively on news reports, weather forecasts, and even special-interest features already generated by the station’s 6 O’Clock Eyewitness News team.”
And that’s not all The Union uncovered. (Thanks, Rico for the tip!)

Reading The Onion story, I laughed at the made-up news station, the picture of the anchors totally oversmiling and the idea of Amarillo being big enough to have its own newscast.
Then I checked.
It’s a fricking real TV station, and that same picture of the girl anchor’s huge grin is actually about four times that size in the header of their site.
Fantastic.
