Many studies have been done proving that most of the media mostly does stories from a liberal point of view, and that reporters and editors by an overwhelming majority are registered Democrats and vote accordingly. It's not even close.

But over time she grew tired, like she was just reading the news, didn't care, it was just a job. Honestly she should review her early stuff, and see the energy difference, revive the spark again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-1362500478093070422014-03-25T11:10:42.718-07:002014-03-25T11:10:42.718-07:00Leslie was a very talented reporter and anchor. As...Leslie was a very talented reporter and anchor. As an individual she was/is a quality human being. When other "friends" of George Watson watched him destroy himself, even after being offered help to detox by KTVU on a few occasions, Leslie, out of her own pocket paid for the 'one last time" when George finally set himself straight. Not any of Georges' "friends".Leslie used to regularly take the crew out for lunch on weekends before the 10pm, often wearing a hat and no make up, and treating everyone with respect. She did not put on "airs", unlike past anchors, or a few of the present ones who seem annoyed they have to breath the same air as the "hired help".<br /> Leslie was doing stories exposing the animal cruelty of Ringling Brothers Circus, and she was told to stop by Cox, the parent company of KTVU, because Kenneth Feld, owner of RB Circus, was a big advertiser with Cox across the country. No backing from Cox, and no journalistic integrity from anyone inside KTVU to go to bat for her. She was left alone and sacrificed.For all the idiot posters who believe media is liberal, buy the broadcasters book that shows ownership of tv and radio. Any story that is going to expose the ill doing of any advertiser, is killed, not on the table for discussion, The corporate ownerships decides what is news, and you get only a sliver of what they want to report to you. Notice all the copter shots now, and light weight fluff entertainment on newscasts now? <br /> Her book has been cpmpleted, and edited, and Kenneth Feld and his lackeys have used power and influence to stall and possibly squash the release from a major publisher altogether. This happened to two reporters in Florida as well. Not the first time, and not the last. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-57363689800790291052014-03-25T10:50:34.369-07:002014-03-25T10:50:34.369-07:00anon at 4:55...."THEY" can't all be ...anon at 4:55...."THEY" can't all be Ricky Ricardo, but they can certainly try.

I asked him for ten minutes of his time for some material for the ad copy and he looked at me like I was a piece of dogshit. "I don't talk to ANYONE," he said, "until they've read my book." What book was that? No one knew about a book. He then retrieved and shoved in my hands a copy of his self-published vanity fiesta "The Sportin' Life." For three lines of copy I had to read a whole book and then come back to him. For the heck of it, I did read it. It was crap and badly needed an editor, and was just him grooming his ego. You won't learn anything about sports reading it. I pitched the book in the trash can and never did interview him. Later when the ads came out and there were nice pieces on Vacar, Fowler, Griffith, Richmond, Mackenzie, etc., he called up irate that there was nothing about him. "What can we say about you," my CD (creative director) asks. "I don't talk to anyone until they've read my book..." he tells him. My CD was like, "Yeah, right," and told me later, "I'm glad you skipped that ass."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-13642100728690385582014-03-24T11:07:48.360-07:002014-03-24T11:07:48.360-07:00He's also a first-class shmuck who thinks he h...He's also a first-class shmuck who thinks he has a glittering ten-inch diamond-tipped cock.

Nowadays, about 45% of the women would say they 'felt threatened' if a 'strange man' gave them a compliment, so one has to be careful. I went to an "In and Out" restaurant in Novato the other day. The young lady at the change window had beautiful skin, it truly was radiant and almost cast a glow. I almost told her, 'You have a lovely complexion." but I thought, better not.
