What BBN said about it

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWho benefits when a fish market has to defend its own fish? I intend to find out.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorStart with the facts.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorExhibit one. KIRO 7 reports Lam's Seafood Market is calling out misleading claims in a viral video from a right-wing influencer.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA fish market doing a fact-check. Respect.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorExhibit two. E! News says espresso brown is fall's trending hair color. Chocolate. Mocha. Warm shades everywhere.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMocha.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBrown, Hank. Everything is turning brown. Wardrobes, makeup, manicures, and now hair.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOkay, timeline. Video goes viral, market answers, and then everyone dyes their hair. I'm just reading the board.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThat is not a timeline. That is just two separate events.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorTwo things is how every cover-up begins.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentMy chart. Fish market statements go up, brown hair goes up. Same slope.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSame slope.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentIt proves nothing. Which is weird, because it looks so right.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThe absence of proof is the proof. I have seen it in four capitals and one very hostile ferry terminal.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorFerry terminal.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorWe do not discuss it. Now, the rabbit hole. What is brown, wet, and sold in Seattle?

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentChowder? Clam chowder is the link!

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorClam chowder is beige.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorBeige is brown wearing a disguise.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThe stylists are in on it. The fishmongers are in on it. The chowder is the mastermind.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorLet's confront the obvious. A market got misrepresented online and said so. People like brown hair in autumn.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorThat is precisely the narrative they are pushing.

Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentHonestly, that's pretty convincing.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorVerdict. No connection. A fish market corrected a video, and autumn made people want coffee-colored hair.

Gloria Vance · World News AnchorNoted. The investigation continues at the fish counter.
