I don't watch the local news, but on the few occasions when I've flipped past commercials for it, it's always some sensationalized tag like "Which common household items could be putting your family at risk of injury, or EVEN DEATH!!?!?" or "Eating out: what you don't know could kill you!" Please. Obvious scare tactics to get you to watch some hyped up and rehashed nonsense about food safety or whatever.
