Phony KOMO promo

I posted the other day about a KOMO promo for a Storm Watch big segment at 6pm Wednesday as if it were a special deal.   Well, It wasn't a program, it was  only a paltry 1:00 highlight segment??  What a joke. Embarrassing. I guess I fell for it, but I was expecting a long segment or even a show about the team based on the promo, but was fooled into waiting until the show was almost over at 55:00 after the hour for nothing.  Shameful bait and switch.  I won't be fooled again.   Tell me that promo slide is not misleading.  When a viewer sees a promo for the first time, there are expectations.  Not a throwaway.

The story behind the story

I have had some comments about a beef I have with Brandi Kruse. Here's the truth. When she started The Divide on Fox 13, I heavily criticized the first show on Fake News. Her guests were her compadre/buddy Jason Rantz (pictured), who spreads such news himself on the low rated KTTH, and two familiar Fox 13 colleagues who were also clueless. No expert, and there was one available had she asked, Kate Starbird of UW, who might have joined if invited. She railed strongly against my critique, able to, as usual, dish it out, but not take it, and I sarcastically called her 'Miss Fragile' to chide her, calling out her self-marketed 'iron' persona, which I did, BTW, on my personal email.  My opinion.  She proceeded to doxx me with an employer, which was totally ridiculous given the context, even warning women about my post. So yes, I don't like her, but more so, she has built herself as this steely opponent of the state, but appears to have pushed her luck. And now, th...

How lucky are we that this Seattle TV is....

...Connected to TikTok.  Wonderful for one and all, right?  TikTok, that bastion of factual, clear, attributed information and, more often, news anchors dancing in their studios. Desperate station, trying to be what it's not.

A Home Opener with Vrabel here. Whoa, Nellie, or is it Dianna?

Looks like the Seahawks and Patriots will meet in a Super Bowl rematch for opening Day in September.  It will draw media from everywhere, including TMZ, and the ratings will be huge because of the Vrabel-Russini affair story likely to bubble up yet again at that point.  NFL takes advantage of the hype if this happens.   Gonna be a wild Wednesday.   Full schedule out tomorrow.  

Looks like failed Fox13 host is getting a comeuppance.

  Brandi Kruse, who left Fox 13 in a huff citing corporate media oversight despite her own failed news show 'Divided,' gets allegedly caught in a scheme to be a hidden political donor from her podcast site, 'Undivided.'   Not a fan.   From The Seattle Times "A campaign finance watchdog has filed a complaint against Let’s Go Washington, alleging the conservative political committee failed to properly disclose political advertising tied to two statewide initiative campaigns. The 24-page complaint, filed by Washingtonians for Ethical Government, alleges that Let’s Go Washington failed to report the financial value of more than 150 individual instances of promotional political advertising that the group identified by conservative podcaster and former TV journalist Brandi Kruse, as well as other in-kind, noncash contributions the organization allegedly received. Failing to disclose advertising and contributions breaks state law on reporting campaign expenditures, sai...
