Default Anyone See "Scary Mary" Schiavo on TV today Miami crash?

The real problem is that the networks have sold that time to sponsors
for good money. Now they have to fill it with something. So they hire
pseudo experts to keep talking.

Don't you love it when the local station interrupts
programming for "BREAKING NEWS" and then the reporter comes
on with a "serious face and tone" to report that there is a
accident somewhere, they are not sure and have no details
yet.
