    I so rarely watch news, and when i do, its for a big event like this.

    So half the time I watch news. I hear a Stern prank call.

    If you are a local or network news outfit, wouldn't it behoove you to keep an unemployed Stern addict on call. When big events like this, go live, have him screen calls, or at least listen live. I haven't listened to Stern since Jackie the Jokeman left, and I could tell that was Janks after three words.

    It would at least spare these dopey networks the embarrassment of "You said his name is Ronnie the Limo Driver??"

    CNN:
    [Updated at 5:34 p.m. ET] In posts at 5:06 p.m. ET and 5:09 p.m. ET, we reported apparent information from Big Bear Lake Mayor Jay Obernolte. We have learned that the man we spoke to was not the mayor, so we've removed the information. We regret the error."

    No way he was coming out alive. And the cable newsers have been awful with this. Hard to take Wolf Blitzer seriously with his hipster glasses on.
