New News Network Coming to Placitas

Written By Keith West

🎙️🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨🎙️
Placitas, brace yourself. The truth is coming… sort of.

Introducing PLACITAS NEWS NETWORK — the only local news show unafraid to ask hard-hitting questions like:
“Are solar panels giving hummingbirds migraines?”
“Can sand be zoned as residential?”
…and “Who double-booked the community center again, Barbara?”

💥 Think John Oliver’s brains, The Onion’s absurdity, and Philomena Cunk’s deeply confused confidence — now set in the high desert where the HOA is mightier than the law.

🐷 Featuring Priscilla, Pig of the Desert, in her hard-hitting segment: Pig of the Week.
🎭 Hosted by Sagebrush Dustington, who may or may not be legally allowed to call this “journalism.”

📡 Premieres soon on… wherever things this weird are allowed.

Sagebrush Dustington is a self-declared investigative journalist, amateur weather psychic, and the only person in Placitas to be banned from both Nextdoor and the farmer’s market. With a background in asking the wrong questions at the worst possible time, Sagebrush brings deadpan curiosity and misplaced confidence to every story—whether it’s HOA drama, suspiciously organized coyotes, or the ongoing feud between pottery guilds. 

Armed with a mic, a weather rock, and a deep distrust of hummingbirds, Sagebrush delivers the news Placitas never asked for—but probably deserves.
