[Kzyxtalk] Duvall's dismissal

[nsi at mcn.org]

 I'm kind of mad.
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"?
 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? 
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.
 Right now "local news" is another white man who has never learned
how to get off his behind reading outloud from the Press Democrat. 
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. 
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 .
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.
 
Doug: Please re-post my comments on whatever Facebook page you are
referring to.

GM John Coate posted on Facebook that there was no dismissal.  He
says, there is "not one speck of truth to any of this."
Norman, do you have a response? 
Anyone?
