Good Day Oregon

Submitted by media giant on Tue, 03/11/2008 - 4:58pm.

I usually work during the day, but I happened to be home today when this show was on. Helen Raptis? I think her name is said something very inappropriate about the state fruit of Oregon not being Darcell or something like that. I think Darcell is a homosexual cross dresser in Portland. What is with that kind of comment? It isn't funny to label the homosexual community with inappropriate names any more. The two people on the set with her tried to ignore it, but I noticed. You are not funny or witty.

Are you talking about AM Northwest?

Didn't anybody notice?

I laugh at people who can't even figure out which channel they're watching. Unfortunately, "media giant" isn't the only brain dead viewer out there.

You must be a bit out of touch. I have a gay relative that uses the term "fruit" all the time in a humorous context. There's nothing wrong with it, although I wouldn't use it on-air myself.

Helen is still on AM Northwest. I'm watching her now with the "Dog of the Day." Who are YOU confusing her with?? "I laugh at people who can't even figure out which channel they're watching."

I have been outted--
I thought I made it clear in my opening sentence. Let me break it down in sound bites for you all.

I have a job.
I don't watch daytime TV.
This Helen woman is inappropriate.
I have over 100 channels to choose from.
I fear the next time I am sick at home she will be on one of them.
Thank you for clearing up for me which channel she is on so I can
avoid it more easily.
Just a question to "UMM" I hear a lot of African Americans calling one another the "N" word. Are you going to let that go on the local morning news program?

If you are so out of it you can't even keep track of which station/channel/show you're watching, then you probably should keep your ignorant comments to yourself. Other people also have jobs, have over 100 channels to choose from and THEY seem to be able to keep track. If you "don't watch daytime TV," then what the hell are you on about. Go find another forum to address your concerns, such as I'mjustplainstupidinsider.com. By the way, what job do you have so I can post on your industry forum how much I hate you, even though I don't know what the hell I'm talking about.

There's a new face on GDO, presumably, because Kim Maus now anchors The 4 O'Clock News and if she showed up for all of GDO as well as doing Mo'Betta Portland she'd be on the station more than 12 hours daily.

Well, that's my guess anyway.

It's Julie G. anchoring with Pete 4:30-7am. Then Kim anchors with Pete 7-9.
