KODE (Joplin) Anchor Mike Olmstead posted about a sponsored event which was dubbed the “US Cellular My Town Tour.”

Olmstead posted that each time he said or typed the phrase “US Cellular My Town Tour” he got paid money by the Nexstar station.

I hope he’s kidding, but with the way media companies are headed, you never know.

Either way, with the trust in TV news at an all-time low, might not be the best time to joke about being a sell out.

Just saying…
