VIDEO: Bakersfield news station makes worst fake viral news blooper ever

KBAK is a CBS affiliate in Bakersfield, CA but now, that’s no longer their only claim to fame: They can also say proudly that they have made the worst, most blatantly obvious fake “news blooper” viral video ever put on YouTube when reporter Amity Addrisi meets some “unexpected” powder and a falling object.

Seriously, this is just embarrassing. The headline on the YouTube video, uploaded to KBAK’s official channel, says “BLOOPER ALERT!” on the title of the video. I know it’s local news and that it’s fun for these local news channels to be seen everywhere, especially when it’s something not actually as embarrassing as calling yourself stupid and defiantly flipping your hair, but how about you maintain some sort of credibility.

That said, powder bugrake aficionados the world over must be thrilled right now. For them, it’s this clip or an errant LeBron James pre-game ritual.
