Fox 25 News salivates as it reports on the horror that is a condom billboard across from a Catholic school - only mentioning at the very end that, you know, school's out for the summer and all.
Next up: Channel 25 reports that Catholic children might see the very same ad on the T! And then, in an exclusive report, Channel 25 reports that Catholic children might see the very same ad in a Channel 25 report about the very same ad!
Yeah, yeah, Nat. But Channel 25's David Wade also left the anchordesk, although a bit less amiably - he was escorted to the door.
How else to explain why a Fox 25 News van is currently taking up two parking spaces, one marked for handicap access, outside eeka's office? Because we know that Fox 25 News would never, ever do something unfair and unbalanced as to deprive somebody who might actually need the space.
At issue: Was a woman's body dug up and thrown in the mud when her husband's casket didn't fit in a Malden cemetery? It's Channel 25 reporter Mike Beaudet vs. the Archdiocese of Boston.
Charley on the MTA feels his brain melting every time he watches, like last night, when the lead story was, no, not mayhem in the Hub or even the Sox, but the identity of Anna Nicole Smith's babydaddy:
... We're all screwed, folks. There's no way they could be foisting this utter moronilicious stupidosity on us, unless they were hiding something really big from us. I'm expecting a meteor.
Or 123 Party! Channel 25 was doing an "expose" on dumpster diving (and next week, in part 2 of our exclusive investigative report: Homeless people sleeping in ATMs!). One of Fox 25's sources let the three neon-green dancer guys know and media-jamming hilarity ensued:
This reminds me why I don't watch Channel 25 news. I wonder if he was that upset about Curt Schilling promoting obesity and coronary disease when he got signed by the Sox.
On Irregahdless, Andrew Teman ranks local anchorwomen on their hotness (which, of course, leaves open the question of who will be the first to rank the anchormen, which leads to the question of who remembers the ill-fated pairing of the Anchorhunk and the Anchorette as an attempt to combat the Anchorcouple way back when).
You really gotta feel for the Globe reporter who had to wait while a security guard confirmed he was to be allowed into last night's debate at Channel 25. Must've been rough.
Emily Rooney of WGBH's Greater Boston blogs her reaction to Fox's handling of the debate:
I'm not big on labeling new organizations with a political ideology but it would be hard to convince me there was no agenda at the FOX25 Monday night event. ...
Hah, hah, sure was cute to see Channel 25 pick "average voter" Shonda Schilling of Medfield to ask a question during last night's debate, wasn't it? Sure, her husband's a big Republican from way back, no bias there, nope, but even better, turns out Shonda's not registered to vote in Massachusetts.
Blue Mass. Group, meanwhile, discovers something fishy about "average voter" and famous restaurant owner Jasper White - seems he's a Healey backer.
An eagle-eyed tblade went to Channel 25's Web site earlier today to get info about tonight's debate. He pulled up an interview with the Herald's Kimberly Atkins, chatting from in front of the State House. Toward the end, he noticed this bearded guy trying to get on camera. Spare Change Guy!

Erin finds herself drawn to Fox 25's morning news, which is how she came to see Kim Carrigan discuss some group's musical style:
... [S]he kept mispronouncing the word "genre" - over and over and over again. She would pronounce it "jann-DRA" - emphasizing the 'd' which, hello, is not in that word. ...
Sean notes that sometimes the Fox 25 morning news makes no sense whatsoever.
