Hard News??? KABC Covers Strip Club Opening

In their pursuit of "credible" and "informative" news stories, KABC in Los Angeles decided to assign one of their most attractive reporters to do some hard-hitting journalism last night -- at the re-opening of L.A. strip joint, The Body Shop. No, they didn't make their reporter perform.

But the story wasn't just a cheap attempt to attract viewers by showing trashy chicks wearing practically nothing (insert sarcasm here), it was a story about the economic hardships of our times -- anyone with a job is considered lucky.

Thankfully, the "legitimate" news informed us about one all important fact: If you can swing around a pole in a g-string, the place is hiring.

5. You guys really need stop tying what local affiliates decide to broadcast to the national network. Your heading makes it appear as if the national outlet ran the story. On a lighter note, I like the "customer's" expression at the end when he realizes he is being filmed. Whoops, busted!

9. Are you sure it wasn't fox news? Fox news always does those type of cheap stunts. One time fox news did a interview in a whore house. Just go to fox news website and all you see is pages about sex and bikini models. lets not forget fox news is right wing news or as we say tdouble standard news.

10. It just amazing how a pair of jugs bouncing around on a stage can turn a room full of men into mesmerized zombies! The line from the movie Men In Black II is so true: "Silly little planet. Anyone could take over the place with the right set of mammary glands."

15. KABC is the WORST news station. They care nothing about factual accuracy, esp. on their medical stories. Their staff is nuts and unprofessional, and it is reflected in their lowbrow and incorrect "reporting." If you must get your news from local tv, change the channel.
