Our Top Story Tonight
I kept watching channel 11 after The Apprentice, watching their 10 pm news. Careless of me, I know.
The President makes a speech on immigration in Prime Time. A messy accident results from a driver trying to escape a police chase. People are buying a spray that supposedly makes your license plate too reflective for a red light camera (may they rest in peace) to photograph. It's been raining for days; will the sun come out tomorrow? The Vikings might not want a roof after all? Did the Twins sweep the White Sox?
So what is their lead story? Why, insiders are buying up concert tickets and scalping them on e-Bay! A pretty thin story, and an old one I suspect. But the May sweeps are on.
I guess it worked, as I watched dumbfounded at the sequence of the stories.
