KSL Reports on Energy Drinks, sort of

KSL TV, a Utah based news affiliate station, reported that some energy drinks may have alcohol in them, but during their entire report they fail to mention which do and which do not. They only briefly mention that they're required by law to note on the can if they contain alcohol.1

A sarcastic summary of the story might read like this:
“Some energy drinks have alcohol in them. But we’re not going to tell you which ones do, and which ones don’t…. oh, but the can says right on it how much alcohol is in it… if any… so really our report is just to illustrate that people in Utah are either blind or illiterate… either that or they just can’t read.”

A five second "these have alcohol, these don't" comparison would have been nice, as well as a "parent's guide to determining which energy drinks have alcohol in them." But apparently KSL didn't feel that was worth reporting.
