I'M GLAD KGO HAS HIRED MORE Great Journalists like Kate Larsen --particularly a great journalist who knows the Bay Area territory and has honed her skills at being in touch with everyone in the community.It would be foolish and ridiculous to reward seasoned reporters who have worked their tail off and are respected correspondents in the local industry. It would tear the heart out of the rank and file at KGO to lose experienced, culturally adroit reporters and anchors who have been in the market for an extended time and know their beat.
Better to hire out-of-town talent who curry favor with a News Director who played hard ball with a woman reporter with special needs kids who had the audacity to ask for time off; a GM who was friendly with the father of the latest innocuous no-nothing reporter brought in from LA; a real seasoned pro who can shriek like no one else and brings vitality to the staff and enlightenment to the ND who hates everyone who doesn't kiss her ass. That's a great way to invigorate the morale and exude positivity and vigor, I mean it's almost pure Disney magic! Time to celebrate.
If this keeps up pretty soon all there will be at ABC7 is a BIG Mickey Mouse suit center-square in the middle of the newsroom.
And LA brings in those innocuous know-nothing reporters from Salinas or Palm Springs or Bakersfield, making things look sometimes like a high-school video workshop.
ReplyDeleteM-I-C-K-E-Y O-U-S-O-B. Right on the head, Richie. Hey Tracey, your mother called. She says you still suck.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you, Rich! Kate Larsen is an absolute joke trying to be an anchor. She is not very competent. Bring back Katie Marzullo!
ReplyDeleteThis is some really talented sarcasm...
ReplyDeleteDid you notice that the first time she was on, she had cleavage down to here, but last Sunday she was cleavage-free? In fact, she looked as if she had stepped out of a PBS Elizabethan movie. So I switched channels. I have been a long time fan of Katie Marzullo and I do wish that somebody in charge of these things would wake up and discover the gem they have, right under their noses in San Jose. She has more than paid her dues. Send Ms. Larson down there to get some reporting chops, and put Katie on the anchor desk, where she belongs.
ReplyDeleteNever mind Katie. They need to replace Kate with Jessica Castro. The young lady is going to be the BOMB one day for someone. My guess, Good Morning America, Her talent is being wasted in the am with Donnie and Marie. She just has that "IT" factor.
ReplyDeleteCumulus was $60 a share a few years ago. Today, it's $.27, but when you factor in the recent 1:8 reverse split, that works out to about 3.4-cents in real terms to compare with $60 (when the split is disregarded). $60 then, 3.4-cents now.
ReplyDeleteTricia likes 'em stupid. That's how she knows they won't challenge her. "Respect my authoritai!"
