This is obviously a staged advertisement for Mcdonald's. That curiously positioned McD's bag in the back seat and the fact that he's got a live camera feed on his dashboard pointing inside the car are both a bit suspicious. Also, his "segment" would have only lasted at most 5 min. Instead of waiting to get food after he decides he has to eat RIGHT NOW and the news can wait. I think this is pretty sad and low and I'm glad McDonald's continues to lose money.
Oh I don't doubt that this was a legitimate news segment. But I'm not convinced that this wasn't an intentional McDonald's plug. Does this guy normally do "on location" reporting from the dashcam in his suv? Why was his dashcam queued up for the live broadcast about the weather when you can't even see any weather from inside the vehical? And why couldn't he wait 5 min. before hitting up Mickey-D's - he probably would have been able to order the fish sandwich if he had. I don't know... something definitely smells, dare I say, fishy?

I don't know. This is on FOX45 Baltimore's YouTube page, and the segment sponsor and weather girl both check out as real.
I'm more interested to learn more about his orange beard.
