Yeah, but maybe its time to take that stand.
Honestly, people doping stupid crap in front of cameras is nothing new, there are whole television shows dedicated to idiots being idiots on camera, American Idol, Big Brother, Survivor, etc.
But doing stupid crap on the local news has become so commonplace that it appears to have become accepted.
Some reporters probably like it for the publicity or notoriety and some probably hate it because it makes them look foolish and unprofessional, but its happened since the first day reporters decided to go out on the street and talk to people, but if it has to stop then all of it has to stop.
People. They're the worst!
