The team at KDFW in Dallas may "get" social media, but they also get how silly it is when news teams are obsessed with those tools instead of reporting. Twitter, Facebook, iPhones, MySpace -- it's all unwelcome distractions, according to the staff, a sentiment echoed in this unbelievably well-played spoof of an actual broadcast in which new media does nothing but decimate the process of bringing real news to the good people of Dallas.
Ah, remember the days when we had to wait until twenty minutes into the newscast for your five-day forecast? Damn you, Mark Zuckerberg!
