BruceS8852 0 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 It seems that the morons running WCBS-TV news will do anything for the almighty rating point during sweeps month. Who in their right mind would want to watch an interview of the Son of Sam. I am old enough to remember the summer of 1977 when he terrorized the city. He does not deserve any recognition from the media. Thankfully the police apprehended him before he could kill anyone else. I am not in the TV new business, but my message for the WCBS-TV news management is Shame on You!!

YoungstownTV 0 Posted May 8, 2007 Share Posted May 8, 2007 I'm not surprised they'd do something odd like that. I guess you could say that sweeps bring out the wost in stations.

NYnewsFan 0 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Scott Weinberger is the biggest waste of an investigative reporter in this market. Interviewing Berkowitz is not some exclusive that other stations and networks were clamoring to get. He will talk to anyone anytime. Now as far as interviewing him goes - This is the ultimate low point of WCBS. I think Mr. Friend must resign immediately. Berkowitz is a degenerate cold calculated serial killer who knew exactly what he was doing while terrorizing an entire city. He is still trying to pass off the idea that he was crazy, didn't know what he was doing, idolized satan and dogs were talking to him. He knew exactly what he was doing. He should not be alive. The only way this might have been a good sweeps piece is if either the reporter or cameraman entered the correctional facility and killed Berkowitz. I have to have him presented as some human being because he is holding a Bible and has found God. And on top of that we have to exploit the Moskowitz family who was perhaps the most outspoken of the families that lost a loved one at the time - because the mother betrayed her dead daughter by communicating to this man in prison. I hope WCBS continues to plummet. It's now almost fun to watch the sideshow news division at the beginning of the dial. Another revamp or overhaul is apparently needed. Channel 4 and 7 - please fight back against this interview by going to the families and educate the city once again on just what this man caused and how the last thing we need to do is give David Berkowitz the time of day.

cbs2idiots 24 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Anything for ratings. If they had a chance they would go to the dead for a story. I agree Scott Weinberger annoys me and 99.9% of the time I just hate his reports.

syossetgal 0 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I couldnt believe they would stoop this low to interview this creep. Anyone remember the good old days of Channel 2 when Jim Jensen, Rolland Smith or Chris Borgen. I might be dating myself but Jim and Chris must be turning over in their graves. Sorry, I just tell it like it see it sue Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/1171-shame-on-wcbs-tv-for-interviewing-david-berkowitz/#findComment-10023 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RegulaOne3000 0 Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 I think this will be a good piece of Berkowitz was dropped in acid from a platform and his skin gets burned off and this is broadcast live on CBS 2.
