On the Hunt: Clueless NBC Reporter Mistakes Frog for Alligator By Kyle Drennen | June 18, 2016 | 11:15 AM EDT 0 shares

On Friday’s NBC Today, hapless NBC reporter Kerry Sanders followed a team of Alligator trappers in Florida: “There’s a saying in Florida that if there’s a fresh body of water, just assume that there’s a gator in it....Last year, licensed contractors, the trappers who go out for the state, captured 7,513 nuisance gators, and this is how they do it.”

The melodramatic Sanders set the scene: “It is a precarious business. One wrong step could be deadly....there’s a tremendous amount of tension. Every splash, every movement on the water could be a gator.” Sitting near the water’s edge, Sanders heard a noise and breathlessly asked: “Was that a gator?” Trapper Ben Register replied: “That was a bullfrog.”

Did the bullfrog self identify as a gator?

If a gator self identified as a bullfrog, would you still need to be scared of it?

Are you sure it wasn’t a “fully automatic Glock” which can hold “lots of clips”?

I worked at a good size newspaper for years. Reporters tend to be very ignorant people. They know how to write fast, and they know who to write a good lead paragraph. These are the essential skills.

History? Economics? Science? Politics? Technology? Psychology? They know none of these things.

But, mind you, they look down on everyone in the working world, because reporters are the smartest people on Earth.

I remember the time (long ago, back in my youth) when I mistook an NBC Reporter as a smart and honest conduit to the Truth.

Boy, was I embarrassed when I found out what it really was.
