A Sweet Labor Day Holiday Thought from Yours Truly to SFBA Media

Thanks.

Have a fun and safe weekend. Eat and drink good. Party hardy, chicks and boys. Been a helluva summer, ain't it? Seems the more toxic some of 'yous think I am, the more readers I acquire. I wonder why.

I don't need your validation, good or bad. I rip when I think you and/or your company sucks. I don't hold back and try to keep it genuine, for better or worse. And I'm consistent too, remember that the next time some of your fellow blowhards take you to lunch or write bullshit stuff just so they get invited on your shitty cable or radio show.

I'm NOT beholden to any of you. As much as I rip, (and I do), I don't see nor hear from some of you peons  when I have something good to say. I'm an equal opportunity ripper. Some of my friends have chided me for being in the back pocket of those I complimented, or so they thought. They didn't bother to write in (anonymously, of course) about the time(s) that I took shots at those same people they thought I was blowing.

This is who I am and I'm never going to change. And if that means career suicide, great, so be it. At least I'm cool with it because, A. I'm being me and keeping it real, B. not kowtowing to any of you simply to massage your ego, and c. my readers know that here in this room, they get it straight without any bullshit, good, bad, or otherwise. They EXPECT it and they deserve it. And they appreciate this room because I call you assholes out by and large. Try to pull a fast one. They don't trust you. They only listen or observe most of the shit because that's what you feed them. Yeah, by and large, disingenuous bullshit and THEY know it. They're so wise to you!

You can continue to belittle, make personal attacks, but if that's the price for being honest, fine, so be it, I'm cool with that.

A media wag asked me, rhetorically, if I enjoyed seeing someone, perhaps, lose their job because of what I write? No, not really. Sure, there are jerks who don't like me and vice-versa, but I never made it a point to go after them personally. Because they're public people and work in a PUBLIC media arena, yes, of course, by definition, it all becomes personal, hello!

I have a lot more to say, but now is not the time. I thank all of you, even the trolls for continuing to make 415 Media the fastest-growing, most popular blog in the Bay Area.
