2 years ago they rebuilt I-70 through indianapolis. in doing so, they made the ramp leading to 465 fairly sharp. now about 7 times a year, a semi takes the exit too fast and flips over. it's why i never drive side by side with a semi on that exit. it's common, no one ever gets hurt, and it's not news.
this morning on my drive to work, i get on i-70 and see the fox news helicopter circling just ahead of me. my thoughts went from "shit, what happened on 70 and how late for work am i going to be" to "oh, it's just another flipped semi".
on the scene:
1 - Fox news copter 59. bringing you a birds eye view of crappy news
1 - Fox 59 action news van.
3 - Fox 59 action camera men
3 cameras on the ground and 1 in the air all to cover a semi that fell over and got a boo boo. the best part is their news story. it's the top story on their site currently.
Top Story! Overturned semi closes ramp to i-70 from i-465. Many will be 5 min late for work! more at 11!.
so i repeat, 3 camera men, and a HELICOPTER!. and the picture they use for their news story is the picture from the traffic camera that is 1/2 a mile away and of poor quality.
also, for being a top story, you would think they would have more than 2 small, non descriptive paragraphs.
i have added a picture of the story as well just in case the story is either removed, or the "most popular photo galleries" section is different from when i wrote this. why?
because currently the only other news besides the semi that couldn't are a fail blog and mugshots.
Tonight on Fox news, a dog gets hit in the face with a tennis ball. the owner laughed for hours. stay tuned for our unwavering coverage of fail dog.
also, maybe they should rename their mugshot gallery "Fox 59 Mugshots in the News"
to me, that means that the mugshots are of fox 59 employees that have committed crimes. which is actually more interesting than what it really is which is just mugshots they got from the cops, put on the news, then made a news article about how pictures they bought made it to the news of their own news channel.
tonight on fox news, local man writes a really long blog post about our lame news network. stick with fox news for uninterrupted coverage of the birds in the tree outside his house while we wait for him to come home.
