The shitting thing is they can't deny this is exactly what is going on. I'm looking at you, FOX2! Today's rant: low speed pursuit of some baby geese on I-80. Says right on the police car doors and tailgate "HIGHWAY PATROL", you can see it happened close to Ashby Ave (as in not close to Oakland) yet Dave Clark repeatedly says its OAKLAND PD responsible. If they eff up something so blatantly, how can you trust KTVU to get anything right?
When you lay off the writers and producers and tell the anchors to ad lib, this is the result. Most anchors these days are hired for "likeability" and looks, not journalism skills, because generally they have none.
When I came back to SF after grad school I for a time lived in a residence club. One of my neighbors was an Indian longshoreman. Kapor was an interesting guy who understood San Francisco BS of the day very well.
I asked Kapoor what he thought of the local political situation. He took a pose of thought and then came back with the reply "It's Bullshit!". I think his reply is applicable to the local news.
