They didn't have to showboat, they justvread the news and let the stories speak for themselves. And with subjects like Patty Hearst, The Zebra killers, old Gov Jerry Brown (moonbeam), well, as Fast Eddie would say later, "Good Luck, everybody."

Yeah, but "Fast Eddie' went to the joint for Fraud. Dude was sketchy.
ReplyDeleteFred LaCosse was underrated because he competed with Van Amburg. Van & KGO ruled the Bay Area back then before “happy talk.”
ReplyDeleteI have it on good authority Monsuier John Rothmann knew all three of them in the mid 70's and is churning biographies on them out as we speak
ReplyDeletehow many fraud cases vs Fast Eddie? Not a good example. Good luck alright. In the clink!

ReplyDeleteFound this on youtube yesterday. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XD8OwR74xoQ I had forgotten that 60 minutes did a story on the way circle 7 did the news. Mike Wallace was. It was also great to see so many recognizable faces and remember what we had and how its all been lost.
ReplyDeleteI always get a kick out of these and your comments about them not being ego driven and their high journalist integrity. Sorry. Being on TV back then made them big stars with huge egos. It was the only game in town. They just didn't have TikTok to show you this. Yes, they did take the job of journalism more seriously. It is like comparing athletes of today with those from the 60s or another generation. It is great fun, but it is impossible to make a direct comparison because the landscape is so different.
ReplyDeleteI used to watch Eddie on KABC. Then he went to San Diego. Then legal problems. Finally he was selling for Pitney Bowes in 83/84. Came in to my warehouse/office in So City. Ran into him again in 84/85 in Safeway on Westborough. He was a good Sportscaster - I suppose.
ReplyDeleteBack when woman knew their place. LOL
