My favorite is the male anchor. A real horses-a$$. He showed just how professional he was, sitting back at the station, getting the last laugh on the citizen.

Idiot.

So basically, if it don't look, act & think like the person in the mirror, it's MSM.

ok.

ok.
When the media abandons their principles of reporting and dictates to the camera their opinion, yes, they become the MSM. The reporter, and certainly the male anchor, showed their views (the reporter stating over and over again that the sleding was dangerous and the police weren't doing their job, and the anchor by fluffing off the citizen in a real story). If they were true reporters they would have immediately invited the citizen to report her own experience, as she clearly had more expertise in the entire matter than the Barbie doll who froze when faced with an adverse opinion.

Yes, this has MSM written all over it. That's the problem with people like you. You're so naive to think that a local reporter doesn't have a bend nowadays. How else do they stand a chance at the big time if they don't have a bend. lol.

So sledding in the road is ok to you?
The police were not doing their job.

The parent wasn't doing her job either. (unless being rude is in the job description).

That was all there was to the story.

The reporter was given a story to do. (She doesn't get to pick and choose her stories). She did her job.

Sorry, I agree with the anchor. Wah Wah Wah

Illegal sledding christ... wasn't even 10 years ago when a kid could go sledding without the national guard being called in.

I have fond memories of sledding down what my friends and I called "Dead Captain's Hill." We didn't have any damn helmets or anything of the sort. Just parents with enough common sense to look after us.

So will she also tattle on street hockey, stick ball, or children riding their bicycles on the street? Oh we must have the news media and the government protect us from ourselves! What a wussy state we've become. The wearing of protective gear has been shown to increase the level of risk taking among kids and thus increase the chances of injury. Judging by the video, the parents were out there with their children and enjoying some quality time with them doing an outdoor activity that required some physical activity.
