When You Spam All The Nexstar Stations (Patreon)

Was this a mistake or sure genius?  

A Production Assistant at Nexstar's WXIN (Indianapolis) either made a big mistake or a brilliant move to support her side hustle. 

Chanteria Thompson sent an email to Nexstar's company-wide breaking news distribution list to pitch her weight loss products and detox-teas. 

The email account is used by Nexstar stations to transmit important breaking news information or video. 

Thompson used it to pitch her side hustle. Not sure the bosses are happy, but I'll give her props for thinking outside the box. 

Then again, who's to say that a good weight loss product is not "breaking news"?
