Memphis Station Deceives Viewers

With trust in the media at an all-time low, intentionally deceiving viewers might not be a good idea.

But that didn’t stop WMC in Memphis from doing just that.

The station teased that the morning team was headed off on a "Parisian adventure.”

WMC even went so far as to post pictures of the talent with suitcases and passports outside the airport.

But, the entire trip was an inside joke.

The morning team ended up going to Paris, Tennessee, a small town with its own replica of the Eiffel Tower.

First of all, playing a joke on the viewers is likely not the best way to gain trust. Second, by not sending the team to the Olympics, it makes you look cheap.

Just saying….
