News You Can Use
So I'm watching part of the three hour afternoon newscast here in Pittsburgh, and KDKA felt that it was important to do a "news" story on Dick Van Patten's new brand of dog food. I guess they have to come up with something to fill that three hour time slot.
I'm not exactly sure how much pull Dick Van Patten has these days, but I'm fairly certain Pittsburgh isn't the only news affiliate that ran this story. The "news" segment featured the former Eight is Enough star at a table eating the same food as he was feeding his dog. It was fantastic.
That was odd. The first words i heard when i turned on the radio this morning was "Dick Van Patten's dog food", and they did a whole bit on it.

oh yes the "news" i often wonder what qualifies as news everyday shouldnt Dick Van Patten be dead?
