Here’s a local news blooper from Cleveland’s Fox 8 in which anchorwoman Tracy McCool of the “News in the Morning” program loses her composure while reporting the story of a West Virginia man who was arrested for DUI and then got an additional charge for stinky farts. Frankly, I’m disappointed in her lack of professionalism. I mean, it’s a well-known fact that 90% of news stories* in Ohio and West Virginia are about DUIs or farts, so you think she’d be used to this by now.
*The other ten percent: burning couches.

Needs more pumpkin man!
I live near Cleveland and this is the news channel I watch when I do tune into the morning news. So I take exception to what Matt said about Ohio news coverage.
Ten percent of the news is not about burning couches. It’s about the current court case of serial killer Anthony Sowell.
Fun fact: the anchors flipped a coin to see who would get to be Tracy McCool.
Tracy McCool’s driver’s license is a Hawaiian one and states that she is 55 years old.
Someday, I will marry that woman.
That’s quite funny – the topic of the news and the anchor’s response! It’s good to have a laugh at the silly things in life!
