KOMO News (TV and radio) is no longer welcome in this Seattle household.
KOMO? Meh squared.
Don't have cable, can't get broadcast signals since they went digital.
Have we started to talk about programs that will help lift people out of poverty yet?
I am getting tired of being the only one at the meetings.
I worked as a News Director in Washington and Oregon for several years, "back in the day" when news gathering employed a note pad and tape recorder.
Now, I fear, the news room is full of zombies, playing video games ....
Now news reporters just ask What (if that). Losers one and all, to be sure, but we consumers are being screwed.
All the fears about technology that arose mid-20th century have come to fruition in the 21st century. Even now there are developers dreaming of replacing all Homo sapiens (except themselves, their families, and their cronies) with electronics and code.
The evolution of technology has led to the de-evolution of the human race in so many incalculable ways. What's sadder still is that the younger generations (who are the most addicted to it) have no idea what's been lost to them.

I know a lot of people dislike local news and for valid reasons. I hope whoever reads this that the people in the newsroom are the most diverse group in all the stations in Seattle. So to think KOMO will push homophobic propaganda you should not fear. Upper management is mostly seated by gay/lesbian folks.
As for right wing propaganda? Know that the people who work at KOMO are the same people before the ax fell and really do their best to be balanced.
Sinclair does require all stations to broadcast content during their newscast and I personally have seen it and feel it is bias and heavy right sided. That question was the first question posed by employees during the first meeting with upper upper management.
I want to leave you with this last and final thought. There are good people working at KOMO and although a lot of great people have been cut I think it is important to know that those that work there live among you. We may have new owners but we still have our news judgment. You may or may not like it at times and I understand.
I came to KOMO many years ago and each day strive to do the best I can everyday.
I am not happy with what happened and I know many at KOMO are sick as well. So I feel the same pain as many of you.
Thank you Stranger for your work. It's good to have papers like yours and many others to check the facts of other stations. The more there are the better and most factual information will come to light.
Doesn't Sinclair have to represent to the FCC that they are always acting in the best interests of the community and not just their own financial and/or economic interest?
Do we have a real FCC anymore? How can Sinclair STILL be holding their licenses after the type of outrageous actions you've outlined above?
When and where did the FCC ever turn down a station applying for a license? And what would it take---24/7 streaming underage porno? OR timely and consistently fair coverage of working people's issues?---for that license to be revoked?
