I love most ONN “news” stories, and this one is no exception. This is perhaps the most ironic short they’ve ever done- making fun of useless news stories.
“Now is a desperate attempt to fill up 24 hours of programming, here’s some bullshit that happened somewhere today…”
Every day, reporters have to act like they care about a story that doesn’t affect them. But what if they really said what was on their mind? It would probably turn out a lot like this.
Fox, CNN and MSNBC have to have interesting stories to gain advertising revenue, but sometimes there isn’t anything really interesting going on. So they’ll have book plugs, man-on-the street opinion pieces, and random chase stories that stretch for hours.
And as long as they keep airing those bullshit stories, I’ll stick to my trusty laptop for any news I really care about.
