Jul 14, 2008 UPDATE: Eric has apologized here. That is a nice gesture and I think he means it.
Loving the video of intrepid KTLA newshound Eric Spillman getting called a jackass:

Maybe people will wake up and see that this type of thing isn’t reporting, it’s not analysis, it’s sensationalism and entertainment. Which I can already get on 99% of the other non-news programs on TV.

Eric Spillman, KTLA
You know what though. This was funny, and I think the fact that the people in line stood up to him made it even funnier. TV news with a real sense of humor would be so nice…
Oh definitely it was funny. My beef is that he was trying to pass off his crap as reporting.
I guess I miss the humor.
Making fun of people in a childish way isn’t really all that funny.
I know he was trying to be funny, but it’s neither the time nor the place, nor does it make one wish to watch TV “news.”
Eric Spillman is a moron. He could not make it as a credible reporter so he does the morning entertainment show in the only city in America that would put up with his idiocy. Hopefully by now KTLA has dumped him. If they have not then shame on them!
