Cat stuck in tree...on the 5 oclock news — Brooklynian

Cat stuck in tree...on the 5 oclock news

I seriously just saw a preview for the 5 oclock local news on wcbs and it featured a story about, and I quote, "a cat has been rescued from a tree after days."
Is this seriously on the local news? NYC somehow has become so unexciting that a cat being stuck in a tree is newsworthy?

    It still beats the Britney Spears bs drama
  • ^I donno, at least thats something interesting/unusual. A cat in a tree is pretty common/lame.

    Uh oh don't let caseopele hear you ;)

    I have seen and been through so much shit that I do not read the newspapers or watch the news anymore - its so depressing but I am grateful that they put some good news on sometimes.

    No. No, it's not. :?
  • I love the pet stories section of the news cast.
    It's silly, sweet, very neighborhood oriented. It's a nice change of pace and I'd rather hear that than ANYTHING about ANY celebrity. Period.
  • ^^ I think what the media is doing to her is totally deplorable BUT I'm praying that something positive comes out of this- she's clearly having a legitimate breakdown and I hope that
    A) parents of your celebs take note of what this kind of long-term stress can do to a person
    B) this can be a springboard for conversations between families/friends/media/whatever about mental illness. Because, at this point, I don't think anyone is denying that she has something justifiably wrong with her.

    she's as good as dead, she's going monroe style any day now. You heard it here first!

  • That was a really cute story :D
  • Thank goodness they got her down, now the super friends and I don't have to go to Jersey! And I'd rather see a story like that than most of the crap the news airs.
