Slow News Day

The Monday that is Memorial Day tends to be a slow news day involving the coverage of parades, but this didn’t stop a couple of eager idiots members of the CBS 2 crew to jump all over a casual story that would usually get swept under the covers and blow it all up out of proportion. Â
The story should (if anything) have been about a car crashing through a store front and injuring six people, which is how all of the other local news programs covered it, but CBS 2 at 11PM last night took it a step further, and proclaiming one families holiday meal to be ruined.
Holiday Meal??? Does CBS think that yesterday was a type of Thanksgiving that families get together over a bucket of chicken and give thanks?Â
Yes, Brendan Keefe, one families decision to dine out for their traditional holiday meal at their friendly Popeye’s Fried Chicken fast food establishment was ruined by one reckless driver - for shame.
Not only does CBS 2 cover the story as a holiday meal gone tragic, but they also go into the breaking news over how it could have been worse if the people had decided to sit in the window instead of the inner booth.Â
Sadly, I couldn’t stay up to watch the rest of their news program to watch the horror that became of one mans innocent holiday walk across the street that was ruined by getting struck by a car and then see all of the what ifs… what if he was wearing a sombrero, just imagine how much worse the accident could have been.Â
