Oh Please, Just Shut Up; KCBS Promos; Darya Folsom; KTVU Cheap; Michelle Griego; Larry Beil Arrogance; Kate Larsen Circle7 Smug and Smugger; Nikki Medoro AwfulNess; KNBR Lund More Penis Jokes and Booze; Ronnnnnn Owens Report New Apartment

CRISIS Brings out the best and worst --media is a major player --to wit:

*KCBS running self-serving promos in the middle of its news platforms highlighting reporter's home studios and reporter talking to the audience as if we're third-graders. Amazing, patronizing, annoying and wildly out of place. The latest spiel from the woman who sounds like a screeching cat based in Walnut Creek. Timing is everything and KCBS is dead in the water.

Darya Folsom

*The abysmal KTVU and its two-cent mobile operation --what a catastrophe every night! How much so? Mark Ibanez, the 40-year sports anchor veteran, had to go buy his own microphone because his station-supplied mic was so AWFUL; it sounded crappy and consistently out of whack. Ibanez shouldn't be made to sound terrible. And FOX should be able to spend a few hundred bucks on its talent and not buy the 15 dollar special at Radio Shock, dear lord.

*KCBS, again, for telling us, every five minutes, about their anchors (especially the guy in the afternoon drive) doing his newscast from "a home studio in Sausalito." Really? I think I figured it out now, KCBS wants you to know it went to great sacrifice so Mr. Bell could talk from home, gees what a milestone, actually, what an outrage, Just Shut Up, please!

Michelle Griego

*KRON using yenta supreme, Darya Folsom on the weekends --as if that's supposed to indicate she's a regular Mother Theresa. Good god, Darya, just keep sleeping with your boyfriend and quit pretending you're a news journalist. Yeah, and I'm George Clooney.

*OH PLEASE, Just Shut Up! : That morning misfit on KPIX who told her underlings that :she never gets any respect." Well, dearest, Madame Michelle Griego, I don't have the full details; I was given scant evidence, but I'd suggest you quit crapping out on everybody and then, maybe you'll get that "respect" you so obviously yearn for. The new guy has barely paid his apartment deposit and already you're dumping shit on him? Please, you need a big reality check.

*Larry Beil of KGO (ABC7 Sports) for once again, in the middle of a pandemic, acting like a complete ass buffoon in front of KGO interns. The arrogant jerk had the audacity to yell and scream to a few guys around the Circle7 newsroom, all EGO! Seems Beil was pissed because his copy was late to his desk and all hell broke loose. Larry Beil is a self-centered imbecile who was born on third base and thinks he hit a home run.

Kate Larsen

*HEY< KATE? Shut up! --Kate Larsen, the real, HUGE, Yenta at KGO who consistently walks around the newsroom, even in these crisis days, as if she was some Anna Wintour (AKA: The Devil Wore Prada) --Kate should have an affair with Beil--wait a minute.

Nikki Medoro

*Nikki Medoroa nover at KGO Radio in the morning still talking and talking about nothing really. And when she does talk, it's usually about her kids, her husband, her kids, her husband, --seriously, I root for the Nikkster, I do because she has legitimate credo but her daily barrage of nincompoop verbal sputting is revolting. Nikki has a voice and a pulse, that much is clear but she's gotta move beyond the trying desperately to appeal to the housewife in Dublin and more just be sincere and herself. Which might be just all that.

*JUST SHUT UP! John Lund of KNBR can't help himself: The overweight otter is once again, bearish on penis jokes and booze consumption--why? Because that's all he knows. I TRIED mightily to like Lund, which is sort of like enjoying back-to-back, daily colonoscopies --even reached out, but Lund was busy on the phone talking to his agent about why he's been BEATEN to a pulp by the crew at 95.7 FM, "The Game." Lund brags about his working in ten different markets. Great, the gypsy host and his vibe can be heard in Dayton anytime soon.

Ronn Lowenstein Owens

*Ronn Owens, not content with his BORING "reports" just moved out of his Seacliff home into a lavish North Beach apartment --good, now if he could only afford to broadcast his crappolla in the dining room instead of a closet. There is good news though: Ronn can and will make room for his girlfriend when Jan is out of town.
