Local news station pranked with wrong pilots' names

I can't believe they're this lame.

This particular station runs ads all day long about their experience, connections, blather, blather.

Anyway, how anyone could fail to see these as pranks..well, heck, it's television news, what am I saying?

I can.

Most of them get it completely wrong on a breaking story.

I once commented that I can usually see the errors on any story that is remotely relevant to my own business. I must assume they make the same errors on just about every story they comment on.

Useless POS that have absolutely no integrity whatsoever.
