When you are a network evening news operation, you have the entire world to cover and less than a half hour to do it. 

So it was surprising that NBC took out some of that time to cover the story of a girl that got stuck in a Barney the Dinosaur head.

Yes...this story made the network newscast. 

Well, to their credit it was a slow news day. I mean you only had more terror attacks, the UK in a mess, Trump, Clinton and the rest of the world to cover. So, as you can see, a girl with a Barney head stuck on her, certainly was a bigger story than all that. 

By the way, in case you didn't know, Brian Williams was once stuck inside a dinosaur head as well. But, for him it was a real dinosaur. Ask him to tell you the story sometime, it's a classic.
