WDRB has been going overboard on unnewsworthy types of stories. One story - a story on McDonalds - was something that would not create a gapping hole in someone's life if they were not to know it. The article is called 'McDonalds recalls Happy Meal toy for choking risk'. The toy, a Hello Kitty plastic doll, is shown next to the article. The actual article itsself is very short, but has many quotes and sources to which they got their information. So though this article was pretty irrelevant to everyone's life except maybe a four year old girl, it manages to have the principle of verification down, that is no match and is almost completely cancelled out by the nature of the story. Hopefully the news that Hello Kitty whistles are no longer put into your Happy Meals doesn't upset you too much.
