CNN's Lah Harrowing Experience in SF; Car Burglary Deluxe; Where's Da Mayor?; No Investigative Reporters; Andrew Wiggins Sports Story BS; KRON Puts Stress On Itself; KPIX Donchey Request Via Moi; Makovec Pissed; Dave Clark and Pam Cook Cozy KTVU Vibes; Tuesday Pulse

CNN's Kyung Lah got a taste of SF that I'm sure the Chamber of Commerce is aghast at--like this:

The next time you hear "it only happens in Oakland", take it with a grain of salt. This crime is a Bay Area-wide pandemic.

*And where is Mayor Breed? Better yet, where is so-called Bay Area media asking Mayor Breed about all this crime on the streets of SF--is the mayor getting a pass? You bet she is.

Paging Rita Williams.

*THIS JUST IN: we have NO decent Investigative reporter in this town--hell, we don't even have an average reporter for that matter. They're too busy checking their Instagram accounts and taking selfies.

*If the reason why Andrew Wiggins is MIA -- the Warriors and his teammates are OK with it, that's a crock. More disturbing: the lame Bay Area sports media that knows the story and refuses to report it. More evidence the toy dept. still exists.

*KRON's current chaotic inner turmoil is largely of its own doing. You reap what you sow. Oddly enough, it's KRON and Nexstar that screwed up the mood in the newsroom. They made moves to become relevant again in the Bay Area, not the fourth-tier dimbulbs they were relegated to in the past few years. They ditched moron stories; they hired decent reporters and anchors; they hired a new GM; they essentially said they were going to become major-leaguers and not the minor leagues.

But with all that, you have to maintain the edict. You have to continue the trend. Keep pace.

I like KRON's moves. They aren't anywhere near their goal but they have a missive. They need to keep it going. Nexstar is apparently going the extra mile by providing some much-needed capital. And GM, Jim Rose, needs to get his shit together and fast too, otherwise he'll be in Akron chasing fire trucks.

*Dear Sara Donchey: I want a percenatge of your next contract and I'lll even take dimes on the dollar.

*KPIX has improved their news product for the most part. Not great by any means but not the crap it used to put out. But they need a whole lot more BETTER REPORTERS. If CBS is serious about its O/O stations, then spend more dough on getting good reporters who know the land and understand their layout. Otherwise it's all just phony across the board.

*KCBS gave 10! REPEAT stories on Girl Scout cookies --while I love the GS and their thin mints, that's plain RIDICULOUS and PATHETIC, even by lame KCBS standards.

*Attention, Bay Area criminals: if you commit a crime and don't want to get caught, via radio news, do your deed after 9 PM and before 6 AM when KCBS doesn't send any reporters to the scene and make their traffic anchors, (some in Portland, Ore.) cover news.

*Anne Makovec, despite her public persona of being cool and gracious, is VERY PISSED OFF because she's, again, routinely PASSED OVER by PIX/CBS suits who have thunk, for years, Annie is good but not ready for prime time.

*2's a crowd at 2: the two most-detested anchors/people at KTVU are Dave Clark and Pam Cook.

He, (Clark) still talks glowingly about his buddy, OJ Simpson and she, (Pammy) loves to tell everyone how connected she is--yeah, especially when writing inner-office emails.

FINALLY, yeah sorry for being late-- last-second thingey, so this is for you:
