FIRE AWAY

Will answer questions on the Bay Area/National TV/Radio/Cable coverage of this Coronavirus crisis.

  1. I watched KTVU this morning and noticed that they are rerunning some stories from the last day or so.

    Also, I have been watching pro wrestling(WWE and AEW), both of which have been holding "matches" in empty arenas. Watching any sort of "spectator" events without fans looks bizarre.

    1. As more time passes, we'll be seeing more reruns and re-packaged stories, KTVU won't be the only station.

      As for sports or made-up sports, does it even matter anymore? A lot bigger fish to fry now.

      They've been doing that for about two years now...

  2. What do you make of proverbial hysteric and conspiracy theorist Alex JONES (whom you interviewed on KSCO) who alleges that the “globalists” and “chicoms” are behind this “man made” virus to cripple the west and bring forth world government?

    1. Alex Jones is a nutcase --and not even an entertaining one. When I interviewed him way back when I would have told him to his face but I didn't --shame on me.

    2. Sanford & Son. Can't beat the arguments between Fred & Aunt Esther. Always doubling over in stitches afterwards.

    1. Stan, I think you do the Bay Area a great deal of good when you write your "Hayward assholes" posts. I'm getting shit for posting your blogs, but I do laugh and marvel at your material. Not a knock on you just the opposite, quite funny and meaningful especially good in crazy times like this. Please, write more. Your latest were gigantic LOLers --all time winners, Stan. I hope I don't regret complimenting you.

    2. Let me tell you Rich and no joke,there was a good reason Stanley Roberts over time was doing many episodes around here and some blocks from my house. A once sleepy area that's now leading the bay area in loud obnoxious people in cars and out of them.
      If I sound like some PTSD candidate? Its from being around here for too long. But prop 13 and homes being expensive,keeps me here.. I live it out.

  5. Rich if you say we're done with sports this year, what are sports networks including ESPN and Fox going to do?

    1. In the short term, probably run old sports games and wing it. Long term? Freak out like shit because advertising would halt and either make-goods come about and/or lots of $$ lost.

  6. I am watching some NBC news babes that should be complemented for their reporting and as well their TV appearance: 1. Stephanie Ruhle 2. Kate Snow 3. Vicki Nguyen ... Losing ground but not in the looks category: 1. Norah O'Donnell 2. Margret Brennan
    ***not watching Fox because of their political bias toward Trump

  7. Where did you're donation request go? I want to give you money

  8. Without significant sports my need for ESPN and other sports networks drops pretty close to zero. Time to call Xfinity and drop down to a basic package. If sports come back I'll have other options to consider.
