Thank you for reading.
As this space gets more traction, (and it has,) I felt the need to give a small "state of 415 Media."
I will continue, god willing, to offer my views, opinion, and stories that you will only see here. I take pride in getting the raw information from sources who now confide in me and want to get the right story out.
Occasionally, I've had a few misses and I acknowledge it. Then again, I've also hit some out. I'm not a journalist, I'm a blogger and damn proud of it.
And another thing...I have issues with a majority of our media brethren in this city. I don't particularly give a shit what anybody thinks about me. If that were an issue, I'd cease doing this. Most of these assholes don't have a clue what the phuck they're doing anyway. They kiss major ass and have uber-insecurity issues and work cheap because they have to in order to survive.
Contrary to popular belief, I don't have any agenda. People have noted that I seem to be "obsessed" with certain people. No, I just refuse to back down to these frauds who claim to be one thing and are the polar opposite when the mike is off and the camera stops.
They're phonies. They are to "talent" what Charlie Sheen is to sober. They get their ass kissed day in and day out by writers, broadcasters, missives only because they want to be on their shows to promote themselves, their columns, their TV shows and so forth.. Hey, I'm not immune to wanting to be on a show, only thing is at least I admit to it and won't kowtow to any of these cretins anymore.
I'm officially through all that now anyway. I'm getting calls now to be ON in spite of my rep, and you'd be surprised who some of my sources are. Again, that's not to say I'm perfect--who is? And even though the personal shit is getting far more lengthy and pronounced, I'm not backing down. No more Mr. Nice guy.
We're going back to basics. We're going to continue to get it out, wide open, raw, real, and unedited, just like you like it. We take no prisoners.
And again, thanks for reading.

Keep up the good reporting....
ReplyDeleteYou tell em Rich.
ReplyDeleteHere here!!
ReplyDeleteAnything worth doing is worth doing well-and being consistent.If people thing your being negative,being phony "happy" would be worse.
ReplyDeletebtw,caught Radnich yucking it up with Lincoln Kennedy who praised Radnich highly. I guess Lincoln never heard that Radnich called him two faced last year when Kennedy was ripping JaMarcus Russell. Radnich had said about Kennedy,one way on air,and another off...as you just said about Radman.
Being honest is what people want to read.."negative truth" people respect. At least of the people who's opinions are of any value. Corporate shills can go to...
Give 'em hell, Rich!
ReplyDeleteAh, the periodic 'why I rip Gary Radnich' disclaimer returns.
ReplyDeleteDrama Queen.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't care what people think of you then why continue your practice of rejecting comments?
ReplyDeleteContrary to popular belief, I don't have any agenda. People have noted that I seem to be "obsessed" with certain people. No.... yea, just keep repeating it long enough and maybe people will believe you - me thinks you protest too much Rich
ReplyDeleteYou are not a journalist...you are a blogger. Care to explain the difference? You have 'sources'. You claim to be first with information, 'you heard it here first' you have typed several times, you report on issues and personalities and it is published for all to see. Yes, there is an editorial bias now and then but I think that line has been blurred before. I am curious on what you think.
ReplyDeleteThank You Rich, for giving us the viewing public a place to "Vent"
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work...
no more mr nice guy....HAHAHAHAHAHA
ReplyDeleteI find your site interesting but you may want to examine your anger issues. On-air "talent" are just folk..it's the audience adulation that makes some of them think they're special--'til the day they are no longer needed.
ReplyDeleteyou definitely have anger issues. calling a woman a whore in your headline is point in case.
ReplyDeleteThink you do a pretty good job, but it would be nice to see less emphasis on sports. After all the name of the blog is "415 Media" NOT 415 Sports Media.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the sportscaster who gets so much of your attention? We get it, he's a jerk. That message has been received. It is no longer noteworthy or newsworthy. Less time spent on him might give you more time to give us scoops on stuff we DON'T know about.
Oh, Anonymous Poster in the comment above, did you ever hit the nail on the head! Less emphasis on sports would be very nice indeed.
ReplyDeleteAnd to the poster just above that, thanks. Calling a woman a whore is so locker-room juvenile.
Since you have chosen not to publish several of my posts, I have chosen to visit this site infrequently. I don't expect to see this in the comments section and it's the last attempt I will make to make a comment here. You seem to have issues with diversity of viewpoints.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the good work, Rich.
ReplyDeleteAnd to all the haters, why come back? Go read someone you care about.
zzzzzz - irrelevant as usual - a legend in your own mind who has to now resort to profanity to have a glimmer of attention turned his way - and yes definitely with some anger issues - who uses his connections to mooch free food from area restaurants. "Look at me, I have 15000 followers - hey look at me I'm getting asked onto shows!" Give me a break - Hey I've got a round table pizza and a 79 Chevy for you
ReplyDeleteRich is unique due to the fact that all the talking heads he blogs about knows it is HE that has these opinions about them:
ReplyDeleteRadnich/Barbieri/Hammer/Dibbley/Connors/Channel 5/KRON....and dozens more.
My two requests: Don't refer to Erin Andrews in the manner that you did and less use of the "EF" word especially spelled out correctly either here above or on another blog attempt. I also wish Post Comments would appear immediately and moderated and pulled once they are deemed WRONG. Otherwise it takes ever so long to appear..
