Where social media meets traditional TV news: A viral video spoof

 

What do you get if you mix traditional TV news and social-media reportage?

Answer: A whole of lot nonsense, at least from this funny spoof -- put together by a Dallas Fox affiliate -- which has since gone viral on the interwebs. 

Funny, right-on or a little extreme? (And please be aware there's a bleeped-out swear word in the video.)

Not a fan of Fox news in general, but it was pretty funny.

I thought the video was hilarious. It definitely hit on some of the ways social media has effected the way we interact and relay information to one another. I love social media, but whatever happened to just picking up the phone and calling people.
