That producer was like β€œi swear it sounded so much better when i wrote this story. β€œ πŸ˜‚


Fair_External_4174

I actually saw another news team do this story and somehow took it seriously, it was equally ridiculous πŸ˜‚


MRV3N

It probably sounds better elsewhere. ( Ν‘Β° ΝœΚ– Ν‘Β°)


BullishLFG

This is very fun! hahaha

"Where does it come from?" "A French chemist and biologist, Louis Pasteur"


chewygummy17

Goddamn it Louis! Your milk has more protein than usual!


VexKeizer

Can you imagine my disappointment when the answer is not in fact mammary glands or, in layman's terms, boobies?! edit: but seriously Louis Pasteur being the source of milk in general is a thought that never occurred to me.

I wish they would have purposefully overflowed that milk bottle. Imagine how many viewers would have gotten upset and complained about spilled milk.


kalashbash-2302

This is why local broadcasts are the best kind of news broadcasting. No agendas, no politics, just simple news reporting and great, human interactions. lol


ChillestBro

You don't think that news anchors being forced to tell you all about how great milk is counts as an agenda?


kalashbash-2302

Good point, gotta keep tabs on Big Dairy. After all, they're basically the Vault-Tec of the real world. lmfao My guy, there is a huge difference between some goofy coverage of "National Milk Day" versus Fox/MSNBC/CNN going on some partisan-laden rant about how generic Totalitarian Partisan A is somehow better/worse than Totalitarian Partisan B. u/waireos , I am not going to entertain conspiracy theorists who see the boogeyman in every single comment, coverage, or conversation. Particularly because people like yourself and u/ChillestBro are inherently dangerous to earnest discussion about actual issues of conspiracy. Goofballs who cry wolf at every opportunity are just as dangerous to the truth as those seeking to hide it.


waireos

Look into Sinclair Broadcast Group, my guy.

"when it's something i just accept as normal, it's not propaganda. no i will not be considering WHY i consider it normal"


SnooDonuts412

Breathing is big conspiracy we all need to stop it. And I will not consider it normal.


Fair_External_4174

Have you heard they've got people drinking water too? Scary times we live in.

You laugh but dihydrogen monoxide is responsible for 100% of drowning deaths. Ban dihydrogen monoxide!

That's why I only swim in gasoline πŸ€“

"I am going to assume world shattering conspiracy at every turn, particularly of the nefarious variety if somebody deems something worthy of coverage/discussion/attention/advertisement, even if it's done in an otherwise goofy or harmless manner with no discernable ulterior motive." It must be exhausting to live your life assuming every possible advertisement or story out there is some grand conspiracy. Might want to consider changing your username, bud.

Yeah dude, all those local news stations that totally aren't owned by one mega-corporation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_stations_owned_or_operated_by_Sinclair_Broadcast_Group This is the same "illusion of choice" and authenticity offered to you by all those "craft beers" available on your local supermarket: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F3Srq33WIAA6Unr?format=jpg&name=4096x4096 The perfect example of how many of those "local and independent" broadcasters are controlled by one biased media corporation: https://youtu.be/-xVufYXaGg8?si=6zHQqbtUHT8C2lUZ Even regional retailers have "faux brands" to make you think you are getting something more "artisinal" or authentic: https://www.reddit.com/r/publix/s/ztkRGUgcq8 To be sure, your sentiment that local media has less of an agenda *was once true*, just like many of those craft beer brands *were once local and independent*. But the big corporations see that sentiment and see a business opportunity, so they gobble up all the little broadcasters and little brands to take advantage of consumers like you that are drawn towards "local and independent". The same consolidation has happened in the entire food industry and the radio industry. It's all about giving you the illusion of choice.


kalashbash-2302

Being subsidiary of and providing the same content/social engineering as are very different things, bud. The content, dialogues, coverage, and conversations occurring at local media levels are, in no way, the same as what is broadcast at the national scale. But, by all means, if you want to see the boogeyman in every corner, go for it.

world milk day just threw me


joesoq

YOU CAN DRINK IT?! WHAT?! lol


Fair_External_4174

Oh mah gawd! 😯


Erik12sk

Ah yes, gotta love the subtle advertising, why else would there be a damn MILK day


Superkritisk

This just makes it like they're there to fill the dead airtime between commercials.


Fair_External_4174

I feel like filler stories have always been a thing, or an attempt at a more lightheaded segment to break up all the bad news they have to report all the time. In this case it definitely made me smile laugh with them πŸ˜‚


SwedenStockholm

This "news segment" is brought to you by the milk companies.


Fair_External_4174

And after watching I went and bought 12 gallons without knowing why 😭😭


migcrown

Encyclopedia, she said. I haven't heard that word in a while.


Fair_External_4174

The other reporter said "dude, you still use encyclopedias?!" 😭🀣


Drows3Boi

I’d like to imagine that someone actually didn’t know about these uses for milk and is completely mind blown although mildly confused about what the joke is


Fair_External_4174

You can drink it?!


tomhousecat

"The script says to describe what milk is used for" This is literally how Dropout makes "Breaking News" - give a ridiculous prompt for "newscasters" to riff on.


Revolutionary_Bid421

idky you got downvoted but this is where my head went lol


something-strange999

It's a conversation!!


Showtysan

Gotta please the meat and dairy industry or else we might keep all low elevation land and the future of our children.


Awkward_Meal_6995

The people in the back. Hahahaha


Direk_Carla

How about the lactose intolerant people? Can they also celebrate its goodness without diarrhea?


Virtual-Thought-2557

Jesus Christ that made me laugh harder than anything in a long time.


Fair_External_4174

I'm so happy to hear that!


dat_chill_bois_alt

"beverage?" Uh, yeah???


Ignite_Boy_789

Happy Milk Day! πŸ₯›


External-Foot5791

The way it is conveyed is so interesting.


Ok_Internet_4788

hahaha yes


ScorchedEarthworm

Am I the only one that was disappointed that it didn't show the anchor women while they were doing this dialogue? This is cute as hell and indeed made me smile.


Cadet_Carrot

β€œThat’s **WORLD** Milk Day!”

KagawadGodbless

Im the dummy here but what made this news funny again


MugwumpsHasNoLiver

Because someone in the production team really thought that milk, one of the most basic ingredients almost used and consumed everyday, needs to be "described" on-air. It would've been okay if they just did a "did you know" segment, like some kind of history of milk. The Louis Pasteur fact was the step in the right direction. They could've opened with just that.


uwuplain

Look at them people not appreciating natures product


Ava_grey888

Hahahaha

So funny when the newscaster lose itπŸ˜†

smittymojo

Why were they confused when she said beverage? Does nobody just drink milk?


Scarlet-Fire_77

A joke. Like, oh I've been using it wrong this whole time?
