WBZ provides top quality investigations

By Al on Tue, Nov 11, 2008 1:32 pm

The I-Team of WBZ is at it again, exploring the depths of trechery and corruption that run through the Bostonian bureacracies. Their most recent target: MBTA .... lunches.

I shit you not, this investigation centers around a monthly catered lunch that honestly sounds mediocre, based on their decriptions of "chicken and pasta." Am I the only one to find this an absurd news story? Sure the likes of Paris Hilton and Brittany Spears are are ridiculously lacking in any intellectual stimulae, but at least they are crazy enough that the semi-educated will recognize them as entertainment based news stories. This story, on the other hand, rests in that shadowy alcove known only to local news stations, the innards of a toilet, if you will. The MBTA is $8 Billion in debt, a catered lunch is hundreds of dollars at most, I hardly think this is the source of their financial instability. What's next, being amazed at the fact that they are *gasp* paying their employess?

It's almost like WBZ hired Sarah Palin to come up with their leads.

Almost.

The Middle East is a great venue when it's kind of full--but it can be a mess when it's completely sold out.
