KATU's tasteless behavior in Grant McOmie's dismissal.
Submitted by TALPDX on Mon, 04/28/2008 - 9:30am.

I just sent KATU management this e-mail:

I'm so disgusted with KATU right now I can hardly stand it. Grant McOmie spent 22 years of his professional life at KATU and you can't give him an appropriate send off. Tell your station manager and Don Pratt that they both should be ashamed of themselves. It's the station manager and Pratt that should be shown the door. The station has lagged in the rating for years -- and they fire their best storyteller. This makes no sense. I guess you have to make room for another "2 on Your Side Investigator" or pay for your over the top news set. When in the hell is a new news set news? I see you promoting it on your website but can't give Grant an appropriate goodbye. Really shows no class, period. You're not journalists, you're entertainers -- and not very talented ones at that.
