Where was tonight's equivalent to the coupon cutting story KARE 11 ran last night?

So I think that KARE 11 execs must be reading our blogs. Tonight they did a critique on media coverage of the H1N1 virus. HA!

    I saw that! But didn't it feel like an ego-booster for KARE 11 in the end? They ended up critiquing other news agencies for getting so crazy with the H1N1 coverage, and then their only admittance of guilt was that they had placed a big bottle of hand sanitizer in the office. They never admitted that they too were fear-mongering just as much as the next guy, and they blamed cable news, which in turn ended up being a plug for those who only get their news from them.

    Good point. The reporter acted slightly sheepish about KARE 11's hand sanitizer (in a joking kind of way), but didn't really talk about their coverage. However, they did include NBC Nightly News in their criticism.
