Two technicians were working at a broadcast station. One had been working there for just a few years, while the other had been working there for over a decade. During a project to digitize archive video tapes, the veteran technician began to describe an amazing concert that the studio had reported on soon after he had started working there. As a musician himself, this technician had been to many, many concerts, and this had been, perhaps, the best one ever.
So the junior technician began a quest to find the archive video that would've included the news story about that concert. After some searching, he found it.
The most memorable part of the video was the very beginning. The story began by showing a completely abandoned area, and describing how the day looked completely ordinary in every way. As the story progressed, much of the focus was on interviewing one of the lesser known band members. There were maybe a few total seconds of actual concert footage, providing a glimpse of a popular song or two, but not in any way showing the size of the crowd, reactions from the crowd, or anything else that might indicate that the concert was even good, let alone the "best ever."
So if the eyewitness is to be believed, and if this was, in fact, an amazing concert, then perhaps we also could have called this article, "Worst News Story Ever."
