The social media team at WPLG was on a roll last night after a commenter reacted negatively to the station posting a promo on its facebook page about “A new HANDS-FREE procedure to skim the fat off your body.”
Viewer Debbie Cantu wrote, “Call me cynical but is this news or an ad disguised as news? Just wondering!” In response, whoever was manning the Miami ABC affiliate’s facebook page fired back, “Uhhh, last we checked Debbie Cantu, this is still a news station. Let’s check again. Yep… still a news station.”
When another viewer with the name XJ Jaguar noticed the exchange and wrote, “Really channel 10. Do ya really have a 10 year old running your “news” facebook page. Great job of punking out a listener. Pathic!” The station was quick to respond by writing, “FYI, XJ Jaguar, it’s ‘pathetic’”
Said another viewer, “I agree with XJ. You sound like a 10 year old with self esteem issues. Keep at it and you might find yourself looking for a new job soon. Smartass!”
This isn’t the first social media derailment in the station’s history. In 2012, the station issued an apology to Star Wars fans after an employee posted pictures from a Star Wars convention along with questionable captions on the station facebook page.
We asked WPLG for comment. We will update when we hear back.
Must still be hurting after Charlie Crist and Barack Obama's policies got beat last week.

Ooh what it do to you!
It was originally White Port & Lemon Juice, but I changed it.
“A new HANDS-FREE procedure to skim the fat off your body.”
In high school we used to walk around asking the girls if they wanted to lose 10 pounds of ugly fat. We would respond to those girls who would say yes, with, “Cut off your head!”
Needless to say, we were not very popular in school. LOL
It was originally White Port & Lemon Juice, but I changed it.
there ya go, blaming it on the JUICE again.
Arnie is that YOU!...??
“we” did the same routine.....routinely throughout junior and senior high school..
Isn’t this the station that had the guy in the pig suit who got into a fight with the WKRP Carp in the restroom?
PLG is from the initials of Phil Graham, and WPLG is actually one of the better news stations. Much less hype and liberal nonsense, but it’s all relative.
I remember when I lived in SoFla, Janet Reno’s girlfriend, Ann Bishop was the anchor.
Bishop died a few years back. Putney is still around though.
this is news /LOL
