Oregon Media Insiders

First off, I'm glad Abrams is out. He always reminded me of the tattle tale in grade school. NBC should just have him take over the "To Catch a Predator" series on Dateline and get it over with.

Now for the rest of that article. Do we really need another liberal news network? It's like engineering another kind of apple, except not funded by Ted Turner. How about a network that reports the news without a political bias? You literally can't trust any TV news any more (FOX News included). In the race for ratings, the actual storytelling is being sacrificed in favor of personalities like Olbermann and O'Rilley, who want you to think like them instead of for yourself. These networks are turning us into the lemmings they think we are. But so long as we can yell, "Your wrong and I'm right" at each other, I guess we are stuck with it. The facts can wait, so long as were entertained.

Now if you'll excuse me, the Colbert report is on, so I'm going to go sit down and enjoy a honey crisp fuji green apple.

So says my mother-in-law, complaining about a large blotch of ink that leaked over her daily puzzle yesterday.

I told her I didn't think it was "printed" there --("Oh, yes it is," she said)--but perhaps the make-up and some of the stories were being outsourced.

At any rate, I did a Google search on both the newspaper and Morris Publishing Group, which owns this rag, and didn't find anything.

Does anyone know where to find the truth about this hot rumor making the rounds of the senior set in Jacksonville, along with Obama's Muslim ties? (And if it is being printed in India, as she maintains, that must be some delivery truck that circulation is running.)

It looks like KATU and KGW have a new feature on their website. You can comment on or recommend a story.

hello? 100 layoffs at the o. this site used to contain updates once a fortnight or so.

I hear one was fired, and another suspended. What's up?

Lynn I can't believe how much crap you have to put up with. Bless ya'.

Did I miss it or did KGW not report on the breaking news that Obama picked Biden as his running mate in their first block?

KPTV had it as their second story with their political analyst talking live about it. I think their coverage went on for several minutes. Their first story was about that accident on the Hood to Coast Relay.. also didn't see it on KGW's CW. It makes me wonder if they taped that newscast.

Anyone know?

I'm surprised no one reported this yet. This tasty little news item was on Fox News, regarding Jeff Alan. You'll remember he "outed" Kacey Montoya's modeling career. Alan claims he was fired partially because he opposed Montoya's hiring on moral grounds. Well, check this out:

If the link isn't working, the story says that Kacey's lawyer has linked a bondage website, called thehouseofsirj.com to Jeff "family values" Alan himself. The website is down now, but I saw it yesterday, and it sells a bunch of whips, canes, etc. and is run by "Sir J" and "Lady Patrice". Patrice is the name of Alan's signifcant other. There are other little details we've caught wind of, but haven't confirmed them, so maybe someone else on this site will. Let's just say they involve a police visit to the Alan household. And no, I don't feel the least bit guilty smearing a hypocrite who smears other people for his own personal gain.

Breaking News? Really? Leading a newscast with this? Live shots? Am I missing something?

Jessica Silva is no longer on kptv.com's "personalities" page. Has she left KPTV? I haven't seen her reporting in a while. I thought she was one of their better reporters.
