[Kzyxtalk] More from Bruce Anderson

[Tim Gregory]

😳🤯🚒 ...if you can’t see emoji here, :) will do...

I wish the much-needed KZYX all the luck - the situation is salvageable but
would require some bold leadership and major changes.  Forgive me for
doubting anything like that is going to happen.

And I think our friend would be a fine member of the BOS, provided he meets
two conditions: (1) His billionaire nephew must be required to donate a
minimum of $100,000 (per year) to the station while Uncle Brucie is on the
Board, and (2) The bully from Boonville must be required to stay on his
psyche meds at all times, and since he's a confirmed liar, this must occur
under the official monitoring of Laura'a Law nurse.  These conditions met,
I see no problem for the future of KZYX with Anderson on the Board,
sniffing for blood in the water.
