Read the storyFrom the BBN segment “Finland's Puppy Livestream Provides Comfort in Troubled Times”, cut down to under a minute.
The full story and the real reporting behind it (The New York Times) →
What BBN said on air. The facts are in the original report: The New York Times.
Hank LedgerA round-the-clock livestream of one litter of puppies has become a national phenomenon in Finland, and one fan says nothing bad happens in the puppy box, the New York Times reports.
Dale BearmanNothing bad. In a box. I've been looking for a flaw for ten minutes and there isn't one, which frankly worries me.
Hank LedgerThere are six of them, four males and two females, born on October tenth, according to Yle News.
Dale BearmanThen let's make it official. BBN's Pet of the Day goes to the whole litter, jointly.
Hank LedgerTitle: Most Trusted Box in Northern Europe.
Dale BearmanStat line: six puppies, twenty-four hours a day, zero scandals. Ten million viewers worldwide this season, Yle says, and not one demanded a recount.
Hank LedgerAnd the naming is a vote. Viewers narrow the options, then the puppies pick by snuffling at sealed envelopes, CNN reports.
Dale BearmanSnuffling.
Hank LedgerMartha, Timo, Ronja and Dante were all nominated. I hope they all get a good envelope.
Hank LedgerForty years of news, and this is the first ballot I'd trust.
Hank LedgerI watched eleven minutes and I've never been so proud of anyone who isn't related to me.
