When did Local 10 become The Onion News Network?

Caution: Video contains coarse language.

It usually goes something like this: "We'll get to that story we promised you about the kittens being rescued from a storm drain in Miami Beach momentarily. But first let's go to Jeff Weinsier in the newsroom who has some breaking news for us. Jeff, take it away. Thanks, Laurie. We're receiving word that a car has crashed into a pizza parlor in Hialeah. Sky 10 is high above the scene, and as you can see, a car has crashed into a pizza parlor in Hialeah. As soon as we know more, we'll get back to you. Laurie, back to you...how are those kittens doing?"

And there you have it, folks...that's pretty much what passes for news at what used to be a pretty decent TV news operation....cars crashing into storefronts, 24/7.

Someone in charge has apparently decided to mimic that other station and this is what we're left with: a really cheesy imitation of the Onion News Network...but way funnier.

(And don't get me started on the two or three stories per hour that involve some random act caught on surveillance video.)

The most recent episode of a car crashing into a store happened just today. And Local 10 veteran reporter Jeff Weinsier (see video below) milked it like a champ...setting what must be some kind of station record for the most uses of the word "miracle" in a two minute story.
