An Ad Disguised as News?

Tegna sure seems to be giving a prize game at a fast food restaurant a lot more attention that it deserves.

Across the Tegna stations you will see stories about how the Monopoly game is ending at McDonald’s. You would have to think this is an ad by McDonald’s, disguised as news.

Stories on-air, online and all over social media are touting the McDonld’s game coming to an end.

Here is a story pushed out by Tegna’s KARE (Minneapolis). The interesting thing in many of the stories posted by Tegna, it claims the game ends on Thursday November 2nd. Yesterday was November 2, and if that was Thursday, I want to wish a happy Friday to all of you.

Boy, the week went fast.
