BAY AREA MEDIA minus one ridiculous outlet, reports and discusses Kate Steinle verdict...TV: KTVU and its legal czar, Michael Cardoza is, like everyone else, flabbergasted by not-guilty (on murder 1 and 2 and involuntary manslaughter verdict.
KTVU went immediately with Verdict coverage and was first rate with reporters outside the HOJ and analysis and commentary.
*KGO-TV was live and local, with adept coverage from the scene with Lyanne Melendez; Cornell Bernard was outside and was first to report the Chronicle's scoop/tweet that there was a Not Guilty verdict across the board (except the gun possession charge) ...KGO continued its wall-to-wall throughout the 5-6 PM news window and into later newscasts.
*KPIX was adequate with Andrea Borba from the HOJ with basic, no-frills reporting. Steady if not special.
*KNTV (NBC Bay Area) nothing special but comprehensive between studio and HOJ.
*KRON: Never mind.
COMEDY OF ERRORS:
*I got a call at 5: 07 PM from a contact: "Go turn on KGO Radio, Rich, you won't believe it!" ...Oh, I'm never shocked anymore....
KGO and Chippie Franklin were talking about ...BEER! That's right, beer. While the world was reacting to the Kate Steinle verdict; a verdict rendered literally in KGO's back yard, the albatross AM station --(six years Friday to the date of the original purge) had the temerity to talk BEER! And for a good 10 minutes.
Don't tell me about "they are not a news station"--yeah, sure thing. More like a comedy station that has lost it all. Done. Bye. Bye.
While watching the FNN feed, there was a shot of PIX's Borba limping across the room. It looked like she was fighting through an injury.
ReplyDeleteWhite women's lives are as valued in our society as much as they were when OJ Simpson was acquitted. Unfortunately, the criminal justice system fails them ... still. Give a five-time felon time and he will commit some crime that will put him away.
ReplyDeleteLearn something about the law before posting.
DeleteThis verdict makes tangible the harm ridiculous concepts like "White Privilege" does to real people, and the intent to thereby demonize whites and make them lessor members of American society. #KMA
DeleteEvery time I think I couldn't possibly be more disgusted by San Francisco I'm proven wrong. I live ~20 minutes from downtown and haven't set foot in the city in 7 years, with any luck I'll never have to. Speaking of places to avoid, how about the KGO promo that thinks everyone wants to know where Chip, Brian and Ronnnnn hang out? Please, lol.

DeleteForgot to mention. How did Eatman Boarmanm miss this promo? HE DOESN'T BROADCAST FROM HERE. That's why. He and his staff are frauds. THEY ARE IN LA!!! But act, ACT like they are here, in the Bay Area. Nobody cares. Morons.
KGO radio is an embarrassment. The verdict was the topic everyone in the Bay Area was talking about. They were live and local but talking trivia. After the beer, they went into a long discussion about whether women enjoy looking at porno. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteGood Ol’ Matt Gonzalez...the man who wouldn’t know what a bar of soap was if it bit him in the ass, according to Methuselah Owens.
ReplyDeleteThe two things that Gonzalez and Steve Bannon have in common: soap and razor aversions.
Deleteyep, and KGO has the time to send that yenta heather for those utterly useless man in the street interviews.
ReplyDeleteKGO Radio is not a news station.
ReplyDeleteI found all of the coverage to be biased and sensational. Leading words such as 'surprising' and 'shocked'. That is not objective journalism. The only ones surprised where those 'wanting' the guilty verdict. The public defender was not surprised. The jurors were not surprised.
ReplyDeleteWas it a tragedy, yes. Was it an accident, seems so. Was justice served, yes. The bigger issue is why are all these law enforcement people leaving guns in cars. This guy was not the first nor the last.
Funny, looking back at ABC7 clips and it had a jailhouse interview with the defendant, naming him Francisco Sanchez. Now his name is Jose Ines Garcia Zarate. The ABC7 reporter speaking English trying to talk to a Spanish speaker, ridiculous.
I feel like Stan...rambling.
All you KKKOnservative snowflaKKKes crack me up.
ReplyDeleteWhere you reacting the same way to the Trevon Martin verdict?
I didn't think so..and we all know WHY.
Trevon who?
Deleteflabbergasted? over a not guilty verdict in a case involving a ricochet? seriously ? You have to show mens rea and actus reus..ie the act, plus the accompanying mental state. In addition, the 40 cal weapon had a loosey goosey trigger..thus crumbling any weak prosecutorial effort to argue that it was manslaughter..ie..mental state of reckless disregard..Once again, it was a ricochet..think about it.
ReplyDeleteSsshh! You're using a working understanding of the law. Most people here would rather just go by their emotions.
DeleteA Prosecutor in any other city in America would have gone for the throat.
DeleteThe right expert could have created reasonable doubt about the ricochete and the right prosecutor would have run with it.
DeleteKRON? They started the news 2 days ago( recorded and just got around to see it) With sexual harassment and toothy with pinwheel eyes JR Stoned, says "It varies from employer to employer and company to company.
ReplyDeleteWith KRON it varies to "Fine with us!..our trio of 60 year old woman anchors better get used to it!"
Typical SF verdict. Feed that scum to the seals. SF gets what they deserve.
