I'm kind of mad.<br />John Coate is a liar. Probably pathologically so. Remember when he re-framed his deliberate dismissal of Christina Aanestad, the Latina woman who should have been KZYX news director, as a "layoff"?<br /> Then proceeded bit-by-bit to destroy a news department, carefully crafted over a decade by Annie Esposito. Remember how good, and how fresh local news used to be? <br />Then refused to re-instate Christina after his first Paul vanished when someone sent the AVA information that the compliant news director preferred by Coate was actually a grifter who had been
involved in a Lotto scam up in Oregon. Remember.<br /> Right now "local news" is another white man who has never learned how to get off his behind reading outloud from the Press Democrat. <br />Does Michael Kissinger even know how to record and edit an interview? I doubt it. But he's compliant. And that's what is important to John Coate and Mary Aigner--who believes she is so secure in her tenure, she doesn't even need to get off her ass and train him. <br />The so-called Business Developer David Steffen whose entire job is to keep his job (and watch Coate's back) is one big beer belly more than you should tolerate .<br />Do NOT SEND MONEY TO KZYX this pledge cycle. If anything gets better staff-wise, you can send the $25 Simple
Living membership pledge in the fall.<br /> <br />Doug: Please re-post my comments on whatever Facebook page you are referring to. <br />--Thank you, Beth Bosk<br /><blockquote><br />----- Original Message -----<br /><div style="width:500px;background:rgb(228,228,228);"><div style="font-weight:bold;">From:</div> "doug mckenty" <dougmck@gmail.com></div><br /><div style="font-weight:bold;">To:</div>"Kzyxtalk@lists.mcn.org" <Kzyxtalk@lists.mcn.org><br /><div style="font-weight:bold;">Cc:</div><br /><div style="font-weight:bold;">Sent:</div>Sun, 11 May 2014 08:06:57 -0700<br /><div style="font-weight:bold;">Subject:</div>[Kzyxtalk] Duvall's dismissal<br /><br /><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>GM John Coate posted on Facebook that there was no dismissal.
