Let’s suppose you are a TV news reporter in Indianapolis, and you presumably would aspire to one day appear on the national evening news. You’re having a slow day until a sleepy story involving a celebrity appears on your desk. So what do you do with the story? Pass it on to the news desk for a three sentence mention, or start interviewing people for an in-depth investigation?
If you chose the latter, then you might understand why you are still a reporter in Indianapolis.
Check out how this “Call 6 Investigator” has “got the records right here” on this HUGE story. Oh, and what’s that big story? Marco Andretti forgot to pay a speeding ticket and briefly had his license suspended.
Talk about unintentional comedy - this dufus is talking like he just uncovered an Al-Qaeda sleeper cell in Carmel. He might have been better served handing this segment over to The Colbert Report.
So, What Did I Miss?

That picture up on the screen over the reporter cracks me up!
Ooh... Marco has been a bad boy! Go to my room!
When that reporter was talking to the prosecutor, she had this look on her face like, "This guy is a complete tool."
I agree with her.
The reporter seemed very concerned about Marco getting special treatment. I hope his next story will be about the countless number of people who 1) speed on I-465 and 2) forget to pay tickets and yet—miraculously—DON’T get a news exposé filmed about them. Where’s their special treatment by Channel 6? Slow news day in Indy, evidently.
But...but...but...it's Channel 6 ... they're the WKRP of Indianapolis stations. You're dealing with "Les Nessman" ... you expected more from Les?
