The 28th Annual Heartland Emmy Awards were held in Oklahoma City this past weekend. The prestigious event honors excellence in local TV broadcasting, which may just be the greatest oxymoron ever written.
Seriously, they actually give awards to the local news media. That's rich. This year's categories must have included "Best Use of Fear and Alarm to Drive Ratings," "Best Investigative Report Into A Tree Trimmer Who Defrauded An Elderly Couple Out Of $1,500," and "Outstanding Achievement In Measuring Snow With A Wooden Ruler While Standing At An Intersection."
