  1. Eat, most wouldn't know until it was pointed out that, oh yeah, that's a picture of DeRay McKesson getting arrested for civil disobedience. That's the point. It IS deceptive and misleading to the people who would follow KBOI on Twitter, and a personal attack on DeRay, who sure as hell didn't deserve this. (DeRay did retweet KBOI's "apology," which shows a lot of graciousness on his part. To me, it has as much value as a used diaper.) People will laugh and say, "oh, Sinclair wouldn't use their power, clout and Republican favoritism as a weapon against anyone they don't agree with." And this is the latest example of why those people just don't get it, and never will. I betcha Sinclair will have Sheryl Atkinson target John Oliver with a slanderous story in the next few weeks. Even if it's made up, as Sheryl has a history of doing, the damage will be done. And with enablers of this misbehavior leading the FCC and DOJ, it will only get worse. Then you wonder if it's not propaganda ... but the early markings of soft fascism.

  2. Short answer is no. No matter what platform they are using to post their tweets, you can see the picture you're posting with your post. Once was a really bad mistake. But to post the same picture TWICE to two different stories, gives rise to intentional acts.

  3. HAHAHAHAHA!!!! The Heathens of Hunt Valley will always apologize for something they don't really mean. Just like the time they greatly edited a video of a Baltimore protest march so it would sound like they're making an anti-law enforcement chant. From Zurawik's piece ten days ago: You can't make that up either. And this was a few months before the Freddie Gray incident.

  4. It's a guy who's a prominent social activist campaigning for police reform - thus, he's a mortal enemy among Republicans. And he grew up in Baltimore... not that far from Hunt Valley. Analogous to this would be if there was a story about opioid addiction and abuse in Cape Girardeau, MO, and a TV station tweets about it with an unflattering picture of Rush Limbaugh (a well-known Oxycotin addict and a Cape Girardeau native). You and I know that if that happened, Rush and every single Republican would condemn the TV station as part of this non-existant "left-wing conspiracy" and frame it as libel.

  6. Great! Now the automation is racist ! Twice in the same show!!! Oh Pray tell! Heavens to mergatroid.. It's Trumps fault...JUST say it! No people...This is what happens when you have children working in a "profession" that requires "adult" supervision. This could have easily happened anywhere. But you guys can blame the boogie man and Trump and those pet hamsters of Barons that were in that meeting with the sexy russian layyyer...boris and pals...hitler...ftvlive.

  9. Oh no, I like her! She recently got married, though I thought she was from around here so she must be going to another station. I wonder who will do weekend nights? Dan Skeldon has done those a few times. I like him, he's very passionate.

  11. It can't just be a bad picture choice by a rookie producer? How does anyone know the pic was not automatically generated based on a few standard keywords? So since it's a Sinclair owned station then the mistake it racial in nature? What a crock of poo poo. I see a guy in handcuffs..who is not related to the story presented. It's a poor choice for a picture...nothing more.

  12. This tells you all you need to know about them. If I may paraphrase Rihanna, "don't tell us you're sorry when you're not. Baby, when you know you're only sorry you got caught."

  13. very nice.... Compared to the KSBW-8 studios at 236 John St., Salinas, Ca. Note the use of imported corrugated steel...and why bother with expensive windows that would only allow killer sunlight to invade the building.... https://www.bing.com/maps?&ty=18&q=236 John St, Salinas, CA 93901&ppois=36.669641610974_-121.64865369249_236 John St, Salinas, CA 93901_~&cp=36.669642~-121.648654&v=2&sV=1&FORM=MIRE&qpvt=236+john+st,+salinas

  14. Fascism? Serious? Don't become too much of a victim now. Just take the cash...you know exactly that's the end game. Be a victim...collect cash.

  15. I'm talking about right now... What do you want? A cash payout for a little picture gaff? I didn't know who that guy was in the picture. Assuming I did is a racist conclusion on your part. next... You have assumed the "producer" was white....racist. How do you know it's not a black or Asian producer??? More assumptions of race??? BTW... I'm mixed race ...so I think I handle the truth.
