NYC's other boroughs weigh in on Staten Island in viral video

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThis is BBN Investigates. A short video, a lot of opinions, and one borough that did not ask to be discussed.

2. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWho started this? Who benefits? And how deep does it go? I have asked these questions in capitals that no longer exist.

3. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorI've brought charts. They're completely unhelpful, but visually distressing.

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorStart with the evidence, Gloria.

5. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSILive.com reports a viral video asks residents of New York City's other boroughs what they really think of Staten Island.

6. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorReally think.

7. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe word really is in the headline. I have underlined it. Twice.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe video documents opinions on Staten Island's culture and identity, per SILive.com. That is the entire file.

9. 

   Gloria Vance · World News AnchorA file is how every cover-up begins.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTimeline, please.

11. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSILive.com puts the story at sixty-one minutes old. Sixty-one minutes. Opinions have formed faster than that, and I have the receipts.

12. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSixty-one minutes. That's barely enough time to ruin a borough.

13. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorDale, your analysis.

14. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThis chart shows opinions going up. And this one shows opinions going up, but in red.

15. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWhat is the red one measuring?

16. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorRed. It's just red.

17. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNow the rabbit hole. Every borough has a ferry. Only one is free. Ask yourself why.

18. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe ferry runs from Manhattan, Gloria.

19. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorExactly what they want you to say. I took that ferry once. In a different capacity.

20. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorWhich capacity?

21. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorI'm not at liberty.

22. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWe reached out to the video. It's a video. It did not reply.

23. 

    Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorSilence. Classic video.

24. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorSo the obvious question remains. Do New Yorkers have opinions about each other?

25. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThey do. All of them. Constantly. Every borough, every block.

26. 

    Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThen our verdict is that people in New York talked about Staten Island, and Staten Island will survive.

27. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorCase closed. And the ferry is still free.
