Oregon Media Insiders

Right, face it. You are just one of those who hated the guy to begin with. Didn't matter what he did or how he did it. You are just another northwestern bigot who can't handle anybody who moves here from out of the region. God forbid, we might be some subversives from say, California~ Oh, my God!
Soooo people are supposed to sound like they're talking to somebody at the grocery store??? Right, now there's professionalism! If that were the preferred delivery you wouldn't see 8, the networks, and others in large markets with professional broadcast deliveries. That's part of the problem at KOIN. Their evening newscasts sound like a conversation at the grocery store and not a professional delivery. I'll bet you hate Brenda Braxton. Well she's #1 in the morning much of time. Looks like the audience prefers it too.
A long continued line of screw ups? The ones you talk about? Sounds like nobody deserves to work in Portland in your mind unless they are approved northwesterners. Hell be to those don't happen to be in with the in crowd. To hear you talk the guy did nothing positive. No one else I know at KOIN felt that way.
Speaking of screw ups can we count the recent incident during the evening news where one of the anchors had a scream out with one of the producers, but they accidentally turned the intercom phone on so everybody in the building could hear it. You mean like that kind of screw up? No, he never did anything like that in the morning. We could go on with evening news examples like that forever I suppose, but heck, why bother when you're dealing with those of lesser intelligence. They wouldn't understand anyway. Besides screw ups in the evening don't count. That's the "in" crowd.
Clown? Hardly. Most of his reports were about local issues, murders and stuff. Sounds like you were one of those that just had it in for the guy. The only humorous ones he did were the ones he was forced to do to promote sales department events. Let see, having news reporters do stories promoting sales department events. Sounds pretty small town to me. He didn't like some of them but he did it anyway and did well.
Yea, he had an accent that said he wasn't from here but, so what.
As far as his packages, are you sure you were even watching them? They were some of the best this place had. And his live shots were the same. Half the time he had trouble hearing the crappy IFB system. I think they've have had those same crackly IFB boxes since 1959 maybe? His material was painfully dull I suppose if your IQ is somewhere around 75 or lower. But I hear that happens a lot in these mountain towns where there's a lot of inbreeding.
I think it's interesting you had nothing to say about anything on the previous posting. That's because you could care less what happened and only wanted to see the guy shit on.
I'll bet the Aussie traffic lady's accent drove you nuts. She didn't sound like she was from a grocery store in Estacada!
