Video: SNL Skit Mocks "School Danger" News Stories

This weekend's SNL skit mocks local TV newscasts that feature scary-sounding, implausible-seeming teen trends like "souping."

 

It's funny enough but the truth is that it's not just local TV newscasts that run this stuff -- print and online outlets do it, too, creating a perpetual anxiety machine for parents and schools that distracts from more serious, substantial issues.
