Once again video is our collective social conscience, or at least the instant replay of life that enables all of us to sit back, hit “play,” and judge.
If you’re on social media, I’m sure you’ve seen the video rant of ESPN’s Britt McHenry as she got her car out of a tow company facility.
Right there, I’m biased.
I generally like ESPN. And I’ve had cars towed before where I’ve found it’s a miracle if your car isn’t damaged in some way when you recover it. I took one towing company to small claims court once in Massachusetts and won. Just try collecting from them.
So I begin partial to the poor consumer.
But the poor consumer happens to be a reporter.
And here’s where McHenry crossed the line with me during her rant. It’s when she talks to the towing company worker and utters the phrase, “I’m in the news, sweetheart.”
