At that level, you have to have an edge to stave off all the competition coming through the door. I admired her. She quit KNTV because the new NBC execs wanted to poke fun at her expense. They wanted to do a promo with her in the kitchen with just eggs and tomatoes. I thought it was hilarious, but TJ didn't. She got the last laugh when they had to pay our her million dollar contract.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-38453911724459723362015-08-12T16:11:12.897-07:002015-08-12T16:11:12.897-07:00She's a bitch alrght.She's a bitch alrght.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-44208241798032426132014-10-05T11:26:11.992-07:002014-10-05T11:26:11.992-07:00That seems so long ago.That seems so long ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-73638734269895419792014-08-24T13:19:11.245-07:002014-08-24T13:19:11.245-07:00Was in my French class in Grade 11.

All we remember up here was the same helmet hair and her winning some Miss Vancouver Chinatown deal back then...then popping up with Lloyd Robertson on CTV News. To be honest, if you scroll back to her high school days, she was nice enough but not exactly a fun-loving person. Too chilly for school really. <br /><br />I honestly found some of her friends a heckuva lot more approachable in our awkward days back then.

Once years ago up in Mendocino after she left KGO and she was with a very cute young guy. And just last year up in Tahoe having dinner with the ladies. She looked the same last year as she did 15 years ago. She seemed friendly enough out and about, although we all know people can be totally different at work versus with friends.

The thing I like about most women is that they don't HAVE to be aggressive to be strong or human. The ones that end up being pushy and egotistical, are more obnoxious than the guys who act that way. Joe was unfortunately one of those kinds of women.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-15648749989823150812014-02-28T10:16:10.213-08:002014-02-28T10:16:10.213-08:00Dana King?Dana King?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-5355336797936243352014-02-27T19:02:34.265-08:002014-02-27T19:02:34.265-08:00Don't know about that one but the lawyers sure...Don't know about that one but the lawyers sure had a field day when she returned from Asia on assignment armed with charges against the KGO cameraman who accompanied her.

VERY underrated and a...Don't forget Evan White. VERY underrated and a real stickler for truth and accuracy and unbiased reporting. I worked as a writer under him briefly and he really put my tit through the wringer, but in the end I was a better writer and *thinker* for it, even though sometimes I cursed him under my breath at the time. He created a list of writing guidelines that I stumbled on one day (saved in an obscure location inside the computer system) that I printed out, learned, and used for the rest of my time in Bay Area news. I felt, and feel, that guide had some of the best advice I've ever read, but as the ranks began to fill up with young kids and lawyer or consultant types replacing the seasoned journalists, the ways of handling news based on that guide more and more began to be called into question by dummies with no news judgment. For example, Evan despised it when a writer said "alleged suspect," as in "Police are looking for an alleged suspect (or alleged gunman)" First of all, he hated the word "alleged," considering it a "weasel word." (He's right.) Secondly, and more unarguably, you can't be looking for an alleged suspect. You are looking for a SUSPECT. The identity, when they catch him or her, may be alleged (by police), but the fact that there is a bonafide suspect is not. But with more and more lawyers filling the ranks, that's the kind of mealy-mouthed reporting we began to get (and now get as a matter of course; it's now considered correct). He's demand we say, "Police say the suspect is 6 foot one, about 30 years old..." etc., rather than "The alleged suspect is..." The former gives attribution. How can a suspect be alleged. If they're looking for someone there *is* a suspect. If they call off the search, as they did with that Oakland Amber Alert from the parking lot of a Safeway a couple weeks ago, there is no longer a suspect. But until then there IS a suspect. The lawyer-dorks would say, completely not understanding their own field, law, that that is incriminating someone, but it is not. It is simply saying there is undeniably a suspect. A suspect is not a guilty person. When he is convinced he is a guilty person or "the kidnapper," "the murderer," etc. But now they even say "alleged murderer" AFTER a conviction! They're so afraid of actually saying something that everything has to be couched in soft language. Maybe they should call their broadcasts "The Alleged News."<br /><br />This is largely why Evan quit the biz. Today we have haircuts like Terry McSweeney pretending to be journalists, and the lapdog consultants like that just fine.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-34399307052689447122014-02-27T16:45:33.251-08:002014-02-27T16:45:33.251-08:00> The last I checked Joe runs her own productio...> The last I checked Joe runs her own production company these days. <br /><br />All the ones who've fallen out--Susan Blake, Terri Joe, Leslie Griffith, Suzanne Shaw--have their own production/consulting companies these days, though what they produce is a mystery to me, since I don't see their names on anything, Malou Nubla's half-hour annoying infomercials excepted. All except Elaine Corral, who resigned on air and left the biz permanently. Where she is and what she's up to now seems to be a mystery. A few years ago she made noises she wanted a second career in feature films as a mom or something, but that's all it turned out to be--noise.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4029870750479192711.post-45213111964350031112014-02-27T16:41:00.343-08:002014-02-27T16:41:00.343-08:00I really liked Terilyn Joe.
