If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck it might be a...dog?
WCCO thought it had a great sweeps story when it aired a report Monday on a Minnesota puppy mill that was allegedly selling dogs to a Chinatown market in New York to be put on the menu. Reporter James Schugel said that a worker told his I-Team that he only sells dogs to eat. New York state inspectors raided the shop and didn't find any evidence of dogs on the premises.
According to the New York Post, Schugel misunderstood the worker. He had said "ducks" not "dogs." The Post's headline on the item: "Chinatown meat market bit by 'err' of the dog." Ouch.
WCCO has pulled the story and video from its website.
