Would it be a bridge too far to say trumped-up imported seafood scare stories on TV are passé? I mean really, how many times can you hear an anchor say something is “fishy” and then toss to a reporter who can’t point to a single case of someone getting sick from imported seafood but can line up myriad quasi-experts with clear agendas to tell you how dangerous things are.
Well, there’s an eons old local news story about imported fish that’s getting some play on YouTube because some folks have been recirculating it on the web.
As misguided reports go this one ranks up there, have a look at NFI’s YouTube take on WSB-TV’s outdated seafood scare story that’s found a second life on the internet.
