THIS MORNING ON KTVU, I SAW REAL CLEAR FAKERS...
The sun was trying to emerge from the clouds this morning and sort of teased their ways from the sky. The result was, again, a tease. Or what amounted to such an event.
KTVU's wooden "Mornings on Two" (Weekend) with soggy Frank Mallicoat, Claudine Wong and Rosemary Orozco, also amounts to a basic tease.
Malicoat couldn't buy an ounce of sincerity if he tried. His phony banter with Melba Toast Wong is about as warm and fuzzy as a San Mateo 7-11.
Orozco, with her awful, miserable weather takes (complete with the crappy KTVU technical camera and sound remote) presents all the originality and warmth of a Hayward Walmart. Talk about insipid and uninspiring, I've seen more sanguine at a Modesto Target.
Here's the deal: they are so FAKE. Tey don't even pretend to be interested and guess what? We're not interested.
Malllicoat tried to interact with Wong: "Is the Wong family gonna taka a hike this morning ng?"
Oh Frank, please just shut up.
And Claudine? Try to be inspiring. I know it's difficult but give it the old college try.
"
For a moment I thought Claudine Wong had just come out of shower cause I noticed her hair was a bit wet...
ReplyDeleteI liked Frank when he was on KPIX and I still like him on KTVU. Claudine Wong is pretty and inoffensive. The weather girl is boring but seems to get the info right. No complaints from me.
ReplyDeleteFrank ( I ain't got no lips) Mallicoat is not the first newscaster that Claudine has dragged across the finish line. Claudine does a well enough job as a lone newscaster. Fox 2 continues to team her with sad sidekicks.
ReplyDeleteMalliprop is an ideal fit for The Firm.
ReplyDeleteThe moldy cheese spreads to Saturdays 10 O'clock news.
ReplyDeleteWith NO local news to report they outsourced 2 news reports from KCRA-3.
Not once, but twice.
Stupid filler stories too.
Between the commercials & the KCRA-3 reports, this station officially sux.
On the other hand, maybe KCRA-3 has better weather forecasts...lol
I think Frank Mallicoat is charming and does the best he can with the cold fish that is Claudine Wong. Rosemary is fine. But if I have to pick one of them it's Mallicoat by leaps and bounds any day of the week.
ReplyDeleteHopefully speaking of KTVU, Rich, you will join me in wishing Mark Ibanez, Ronn and Gary R in having much success in 2021!
ReplyDeleteIf only *you* did the news instead of these bush leagers, Rich. It would be witty, informative, well-written, spelled and punctuated, something between George Bernard Shaw and Noël Coward, with a pinch of George Saunders.
ReplyDeleteBWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Robots. No emotion and they just mail it in. Orozco has got to be pulling a Tijuana Tammy Fulsom for someone at the "view".
ReplyDeleteNo talent. I'd rather see Kyla, she is spirited and delivers quickly with no nonsense. Rosey doesn't come off as very intelligent.
I was watching the Evening news on KTVU I believe it was on Thursday or Friday night and one of the news anchors was Pregnant and she announce it on air with the other news people and it seem like a private party that kept on going and going. Glad she is pregnant and having child but come on, it seem to be endless celebration and I switch stations to Lester Holt, so I can watch the actual news.Sorry to be a scrooge. lol
ReplyDeleteI work KCRA 3 we feed KTVU 2 atleast 8 packages stories and bunch of VOT everyday.
ReplyDeleteAnd they run one a month. They let your crew crawl up the mountain and report on snow HAAAAAA! And you're all desperate to be the one to do it. Also what the hell is a VOT? SOT yes VO yes, VOSOT yes, VOT??? NO. That's not a thing.
DeleteSo now we know who the real. "superstation" is.
DeleteA Sacramento NBC affiliate feeding a bay area FOX affiliate.
This has been going on for years now. But fox-2 is now taking it to the extreme.
Did they fire everyone at Channel 2 ?
Do they pay you double for reporting for 2 stations ?
Personally, I believe Wong's attitude has infected those around her. Rosemary seems a little sullen and disengaged of late, although the weather reports are still informative. Must be a really crappy place to work. I just skip the retreads and watch KCRA when I can.
