Covering a news story on the streets can help the viewers feel more invested in a story, but there are risks for the crew. Besides for bad weather and the like, the worst part of reporting on the streets are the people.

You never know who you’re going to bump into. It could be the Crazy Spitting Lady of Chicago.

While trying to cover one of their ‘Did You Know’ segments in downtown Chicago, this unlucky WCIU news crew had the ‘pleasure’ of being greeted by the Crazy Spitting Lady.

After she finally left, the reporter couldn’t help himself. “I feel like I need hand sanitizer… Was that the weirdest exchange?” the reporter asks the cameraman while laughing.

It’s always fun to watch the mainstream news try to understand an Internet fad. KTLA was the latest news channel to attempt to take on the ‘net.

They tried to cover the story of when Kieth Apicary showed up the Kimberly Cole dance auditions and stole the show, but only made fools of themselves. Amazingly, the reporters still don’t seem to understand Kieth is all a character.

Faux news channel –not to be confused with Fox New Channel–hit a viral home run with their latest ‘news report‘ from Afghanistan.

‘Autistic’ reporter Michael Falk is rightfully confused when the American troops he is interviewing say they are sad their four fellow soldiers were killed in a recent battle, but happy that twenty-three Taliban soldiers were killed. It’s all very confusing.

The President has finally returned to television after a lengthy hiatus, and wisely chose Late Night With Jimmy Fallon to start with. Of course, Late Night’s audience is generally liberal and young, the exact ears President Obama wanted to reach.

For the Slow Jam The News segment, Jimmy introduced President Barack Obama, and together they slow jammed the news about the set rise in interest rates on Stafford Student Loans.

Of course, the media is already buzzing about the segment, with the left calling the president a good strategist, and the right calling him a propagandist. Read more on WallStreetJournal, WashingtonPost, and EntertainmentWeekly.
