bad sweeps tv

Correct me if I’m wrong, but there has been real news to report in recent months, no? Which makes one question why, if you watch most local TV news around the country, November sweeps brought you the following hard-hitting reports: “Toxic tampons!” “Baby hoochies: pre-teen girls wearing clothes you’d expect to see on strippers!” “How to wear a thong!” “Expose! Germs in movie theaters!” “High heels may be the height of fashion, but your body may be paying a hefty price!” “Male prostitution!” “Real-life witches!” “The secret side to the circus!” “Is there arsenic in your yard?” “Could your hot tub be making you sick?”
