WDJT (Milwaukee) Reporter Bill Walsh did a “Special Report” on the fact that canned cocktails are becoming a big seller this Summer.

What was interesting is that Walsh’s “Special Report” focused on a bar in Austin, Texas that was selling the drinks.

Last I looked, Austin is a long way from Milwaukee.

The fact is, Walsh’s “Special Report” was nothing more than re-tracking a story from CBS This Morning and passing it off as a “Special Report” on Milwaukee newscast.

What’s “special” about lifting a story from the network?

You can watch the CBS story here, and you can watch WDJT’s “Special Report” here.

Re-tracking network packages are nothing new, but pawning them off as “special reports” seems to be taking laziness to a whole new level.

I wonder if Walsh will include his “Special Report” on his demo reel?
