It seems that Kristy Siefkin, who escaped out of the weekends wilderness, (she was one of the early interns doing weather) has elicited an unusual amount of scorn via e-mail. More than the usual, even by KRON standards.
There's more whispers that Ms. Siefkin seems to have, uh, impressed, a certain individual high up in the newsroom management dept.. Oh, not again!
Try this dozy from a news staffer:
"Its safe to say 99 percent of the newsroom hates and loathes her. She is the biggest manipulative chick I've seen in TV and I've been at a couple stations before kron and in the biz for over a decade. A revolt will happen if she officially replaces our lovely and well liked Evelyn."
Wonder how the recently departed Elaine McKay feels.
First, a bit of news.
Evelyn Taft re-appeared on the 6AM morning news on Tuesday, but is believed to be headed for LA for a TV gig, (don't know the specifics yet)
From what you hear, (and I've heard plenty) Siefkin is supposedly the odds-on candidate to replace the lovely Ms. Taft, who perhaps saw handwriting on the wall and decided to hightail it to the southland.
One things' certain: Siefkin apparently has a quick trigger and isn't afraid to complain, (loudly) to her boss when she perceives hostility and/or mistakes from her co-workers.
Haven't we been down this road before?
The story here seems fairly obvious: the massive infusion of blond, female, young weather guessers with very defined personal characteristics is NOT coincidential.
It's a certain predictable pattern that has continued nonstop for the better part of two and a half years. No problem there, but when it involves direct preferential treatement over the expense of others, Houston we have a problem.
There's no doubt the management clowns at the Van Ness outpost will have another "meeting" and issue a "don't talk to HIM, (me) dirrective", but they're barking up the wrong tree, (actually, HE IS)
I'm NOT the one who has created this shit in KRON's newsroom. I'm NOT the one who has maintained this rancor and questionable behavior that affect the morale from the rank and file. It's YOU, and YOU and YOUR boss that have the fingerprints on this latest la affair.
My question is how the hell you still manage to carry on there?
Time for another meeting. How you going to spin this one?

Whoever that new young lady I saw do the weather on Sat or Sunday was wack as wack can be. Sure... she was ok to look at, but she was not ready to be on air.
ReplyDelete'the biggest manipulative chick I've seen in TV' That sets the bar pretty high (based on my experience with 'manipulative chicks' in general)
ReplyDeleteYou are so going to get sued someday Rich. I doubt you have contact with anyone at Kron.
ReplyDeleteAny news on the NBC BAY AREA and KRON mergers/synergy thing? Then maybe they can take KRON back out behind the chicken coop and put it out of its misery.
ReplyDeleteyeah rich, why would you peddle such a nasty rumor about this woman? imagine if she were your daughter. you're messing with your karma big time...
ReplyDeletethanks to your sources at kron, you're going to end up being sued.
ReplyDeleteI think its comical that the beauty needs to sleep with somebody while Darya,no beauty, somehow outlasts them all? In any other local channel maybe..but why is she the only one at rotating KRON? what is she doing and who does she know?
ReplyDeleteAnd the blonde thing..its the bottom line. Pam Moore who is black,has blonde hair,Sydney Kohara on 5 has blonde hair. If a bottle of hair color keeps the 6 figure salary..try it Rich-you could be hired by Comcast!
And you wont be sued-cant be,as its a free speech,and it hasnt prevented her from getting or doing(ehem) the job.
ReplyDeleteIf this was Britain..ohhh,big trouble for you -major. Here? nah.
And has anybody noticed Rich's word verification almost sound like real words and descriptions-some crack me up. I should have written the best of em down.
ReplyDeleteCareful Rich, you are really about to get yourself sued, like, actually sued. Hiding behind fake comments won't work, Google will reveal your IP address.
ReplyDeleteTo anonymous free speecher. It's not free speech when you claim a source and info that doesn't exist its called libel when you put it in print and the only defense for it is the truth of which Rich would be hard pressed to reveal or have any i.e. BIG PROBLEM.
ReplyDeleteNevertheless Rich you're a big dope, Evelyn Taft was on vacation not replaced.
Rich is a horrible writer, but I can usually figure out what he is saying. Here, I can't figure out what he is saying though: "I'm NOT the one who has created this shit in KRON's newsroom. I'm NOT the one who has maintained this rancor and questionable behavior that affect the morale from the rank and file. It's YOU, and YOU and YOUR boss that have the fingerprints on this latest la affair."
ReplyDeleteWho is "YOU" and "YOUR boss"? Why would "YOU" or "YOUR boss" even care about Rich's senseless rant? Why does Rich take this issue so personally?
Well, I don't know what's going on behind the scenes, nor do I care. I just know what I see on my TV screen and that tells me all I need to know.
ReplyDeleteI would bet money that the 'anonymous' postings saying Rich will get sued are either Kristy or Kristy's parents. I am not kidding. They do the same thing and flood the comments under Evelyn's name on KRON4.com saying lies like, "Kristy Siefkin was outstanding today on weather! Don't remember Evelyn so much, but Kristy was a shining star!". Again, it's just Kristy or someone with her tainted bloodline manipulating situations and trying to make Kristy look good over others
ReplyDeleteAnother bimbo who just wants to be on TV. tis' all.
ReplyDeleteWe know Lee Hammer boinks Radnich at KNBR..whos the daddy at KRON to keep him year after year?
ReplyDeleteI am just floored that so many people seem to care about what KRON does or who is on their airwaves. Its their funeral for putting a novice on the air, so who gives a sh*# whether or not the chic falls on her ass mid-report? Are you all abhorred by their hiring practices because you're just a bunch of wannabe tv people, or because you truly care about the quality of news that KRON puts on? Personally I could give a rats ass who is on what station. Just finding these posts a bit much now. Must be a bunch of KRON folks stirring this pot of mush.
ReplyDeleteKristy Siefkin has no talent or meritt whatsoever. She is a nobody and a good faker. It's not terribly hard to READ the currents in Danville and SF. She's a drone
ReplyDeleteRich, you're wrong. Kristy Siefkin clearly does not have the BOOBS that KRON 4 looks for. She is flat, I have watched.
ReplyDeleteWow, she seems fine to me. Who really pays that much attention to the morning news anyways? If you are that concerned with cutting edge accurate weather reports Rich, why not login to the weather channel online and interpret the data yourself? Digging for blog post topics is just as bad as pretending to know the weather.
ReplyDeleteKristy Siefkin just slept her way to another job! Nice knowing Dave Guingona, a great guy. Now Kristy- who doesn't know how to use a camera or edit, is the newest KRON VJ. Class act, Ms. Siefkin. So which member of management are you sleeping with now?
ReplyDeleteam I the only one who's distracted by Siefkin's rapid, constant eyelid fluttering? She blinks...blinks...then there's a rapid flutter/flutter/flutter/flutter/flutter...Geez
ReplyDelete
