Oh My God! Tegna Did This!

Okay, you guys know that Tegna has done some really stupid shit over the years.

FTVLive has covered story after story, and trying to pick out the dumbest thing a Tegna station has done would be really hard.

That is until now.

You might be thinking that I made this up, but I have the video to prove that this really happened.

Wildfires are happening across southern California, putting many people and their properties in danger.

Tegna’s KFMB in San Diego sent a YouTuber out to cover the fires. Seriously! I’m not making this up.

On the KFMB YouTube page, they write, “Michelle Khare from the popular YouTube series "Challenge Accepted" accepted the challenge of being a news reporter for a day. She joined our CBS 8 team and reported on how fighting wildfires is different from fighting structure fires.”

Khare is NOT a Reporter; she is just playing one on the KFMB newscast. Now, if she was “playing News Reporter” at a parade or a dog wash, that would be one thing. But KFMB sent her out to cover a wildfire.

I so wish I was making this up, but here’s the video.
