I can't believe I lived in Saratoga Springs after this horrible incident, and never knew… THE TRUTH!! 😆
(It happened in 1998, reported in 2002.)

It's a trip when you hear the place where you live on a show like this, even though this segment is old.

Let it be known! Let it be heard throughout the nation! Let it be thundered in every corner to all who will hear, that one of the most honest and daring reporters has been discharged and disgraced under an open bribe to the powers he opposed!

Don't watch these. It just feeds money to the people who fired him.

The funniest thing I ever saw was Stephen Colbert interviewing Mr T! "I feel sorry for those lower Intellect "
@MrArmenian17

The fact that so many right wing "journalists" turned into this exact kind of conspiracy-driven/insane reporter is eye-opening 😂 They became the actual parody

Amazing! My cousin Mary is the lady at the beginning who discovers the deceased X mark and I went to HS with Mike Lenz. Neither ever mentioned the interviewer whatever his name is. Hope that guy found a new job!
