24994J 5575 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 The veteran 'Eyewitness News' anchor, 67, was involved in a road accident last week. She was allegedly riding on the back of a motorcycle when she sustained her injuries, including a broken leg. WLS president John Idler said she will be out indefinitely as she recovers. http://www.robertfeder.com/2014/01/08/linda-yu-recovering-from-accident/ This week, principal anchor Kathy Brock has filled in for her at 4PM, while morning anchor Hosea Sanders is taking her place on 'Windy City LIVE'. Here's to a speedy recovery. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13219-wls-linda-yu-injured-in-alleged-motorcycle-accident/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Anti Cub 2 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 She's getting around in a walker now. But it's still a mystery as to what kind of motorcycle accident this was or where it was and what kind of bike did Linda happen to be on at the time? It's amazing how they like to break all kinds of stories in the TV news industry unless it happens to be about themselves Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/13219-wls-linda-yu-injured-in-alleged-motorcycle-accident/#findComment-101083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
brb588 102 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 That would be a real non-story, though. I've never heard the news reporting on what kind a bike a person was riding, if they didn't die.

It's amazing how they like to break all kinds of stories in the TV news industry unless it happens to be about themselves It happened in Florida while she was on vacation, somehow she either fell off or put her leg down wrong or something, as for what kind of bike: it has two wheels and a motor, whether it was a Suzuki, a Yamaha or a Harley it's still a motorcycle, the brand is irrelevant to the story. It would be like reporting the brand of semi in a rollover, would anybody care if it was between Kenworth, Peterbuilt, Volvo, Mack and Freightliner? Or just that it rolled? Try not to get bogged down in the small stuff and be glad she's ok. It's not our business exactly what happened if she doesn't want to say, just like everyone else can decline to be on video or to disclose their names or issues. She may be on tv but she still can control her narrative, it's privacy.

On the other hand when it happens to one of Chicago's most famous anchors, and she's not exactly hiding the injury on Facebook, that makes it a real story. In fact that reminds of how years ago Walter Jacobson was ticketed for DUI. It was just one more DUI that happens everyday. But when it happens to Jacobson, it's newsworthy.

It really is much ado about a real yawner. Do you want to know Jacobsons brand of car too?

My guess is Linda was probably on a Harley or Japanese or German cruiser. It would be even more interesting though if Linda was cruising on a Ducati or Japanese or German sport bike.

I admit even I'm curious now about which brand, I'm just saying the average viewer probably isn't like you or I in that department.

24994J 5575 Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 We're actually having this discussion? She got into an accident. No criminal charges came from it, so it's not our business. She can and has shared exactly what she wants.

She can and has shared exactly what she wants. Then go around and shut down the National Enquirer or some other gossip rags. And don't forget to tell them how it's none of their business to report the news of celebrities, especially if no criminal charges took place. Although since we don't know the fine detail in Linda's case, you just never know.

No better than the onion, at Least they admit the comedy.

It just seems to me like you're trying to make a bigger deal out this than it really is. Of course, that's just my opinion.

And it doesn't change how I feel about this situation. I'm still curious about the specifics in this case. I'd like to know more, I was around back when Linda started on channel 5.
