News for Monday, August 26th, 2019

  • A certain part of a certain news program related to WALA-TV that appeared to have had been part of their main broadcast channel during the hour of 10:00 p.m. on the Wednesday of the twenty-first day of this August ("FOX 10 News at 10:00 p.m.") appeared to have had one of its contributors (a certain presenter for certain parts of it related to news named Lenise Ligon) saying, "A scam alert tonight, a tricky one too, that uses calendar invites to get people to click on bad links. It's called calendar phishing and the notifications come from trusted apps like Google Calendar. I got word of this from a FOX 10 News viewer. I reached out to the BBB and they tell me this is a new one on them, but very troubling. It's especially problematic if your e-mail calendar invite's, automatically synced to your phone. The BBB's advice, go under settings and turn off that feature, automatically adding invitations to the phone, and, you know if you're ever unsure about a link, don't click on it (with some digital graphics involving texts of "CALENDAR PHISHING" and "SCAM USES INVITES TO GET CLICKS ON BAD LINKS")            
  • A certain part of a certain Facebook page involving various texts of "WFLA Ed Bloodsworth" appeared to have had texts of "Thank you Tampa Bay! A dream came true three years ago when I started at WFLA News Channel 8. I used to start my mornings living in East Tampa watching Gayle Guayardo, Bill Ratliff, and John Winter. I remember telling my mom, "I want to be like John!" That desire became a reality.", "I want to thank WFLA Steve Jerve WFLA Julie Phillips WFLA Leigh Spann WFLA Ian Oliver Amanda Holly and the rest of the WFLA team for being some of the most amazing coworkers and friends.

I can't wait to join a fantastic team of meteorologists giving the residents of the Gulf Coast the information and forecasts they are used to receiving.

In response, our parent company, Sinclair Broadcast Group, has planned an hour-long town hall discussion next week featuring several people on both sides of that conversation, including Dana Loesch of the NRA, and Andrew Pollack, the father of a child gunned down at Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida.
