Noticias del sud

So, word comes that the host of a “true crime” show in Brazil is under suspicion of having hired hit men to commit murders.

Evidently Wallace Souza was killing the proverbial two birds: knocking off rival drug dealers and jacking up the ratings for his “Canal Livre” show.

Both his TV competitors and the cops began to get suspicious when Souza’s crews kept showing up at murder scenes before anyone else. Sometimes even before the cops.

In addition to being a “reality” show host, Souza is an ex-cop and a state legislator. You just can’t make this stuff up.

And, lest you think this is just too whacky to happen here, I’m sure that FoxNews is even now trying to figure out how they can go Souza one (or five) better. Probably by knocking off NPR reporters.
