NEWSBREAKERS
Presents: EGGMAN
NEWSBREAKERS
partnered with the world's largest media company, Time Warner,
to introduce a paradigm shifting news delivery mechanism,
VNI or Visual News Interpretation.
"What's
Visual News Interpretation?" you ask.
It
is the synergistic marriage of common TV sense. If a picture's
worth a thousand words and the reason a cliché is a cliché
is because it's true, put those together and there you have
it: VNI.

NEWSBREAKERS
Presents: LIGHTS, CAMERA, MARSHALS
Nobody does the courthouse gangbang interview better than
your local TV news crews. You've seen these Johnnys-on-the-spot
spitting out their lines as the creeps and criminals du
jour scurry around the halls of justice. But once and
a while the news pack goes a little bonkers in its dogged
quest for a scoop. We thought we'd try to curb the herd
mentality with a NEWSBREAKERS-brand outreach. Think of
it as sensitivity training without the spendy consultants'
fees. Lights, Camera, Marshals follows your favorite
freaks as they go head-to-head with a horde of newsies
who've got some federal friends in high places.
Or,
as our main man Norm Weathers likes to say, "That's
how we do it where I come from in the ROC. If you ain't
true, I suggest you don't come to the ROC without a crew."

We didn't go to journalism school, so help us with the WROC
logic on this story. It goes like this:
These
NEWSBREAKERS guys are pranksters who took up valuable air
time during which WROC could have brought you important news
and information. So now, instead of bringing you, the viewer,
important news and information, WROC is bringing you the story
of pranksters who took up valuable air time during which WROC
could have brought you...
"One
of them could face prosecution." Really?
And
they teased it the hour before, right after Montel! No offense,
Monty.

ACCUSES NEWSBREAKER OF ASSAULT; POLICE INVESTIGATION SAYS OTHERWISE
CBS
affiliate WROC
Channel 8 in Rochester, NY published a
story on its website January 6, 2005 accusing a member
of NEWSBREAKERS of assualt. A police investigation relied
on video
of the incident to exonerate NEWSBREAKERS. The video reveals
that the WROC reporter instead pushed NEWSBREAKERS senior
political correspondent Buck Owens.
Members
of the group were detained for more than one hour and eventially
released after producing the videotaped evidence. Police indicated
that a harassment charge could be
brought against Owens at a later date for "startling"
the WROC reporter. A story
in Rochester's Democrat and Chronicle recounted a similar
version of the assualt claim made by WROC management.
