TOGA TOGA TOGA

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM?

Oh I GET IT!

Only WHITE PEOPLE ARE
ALLOWED TO HAVE A TOGA PARTY!



A few nasty letters this week
slicing and dicing WATE.
Staff thought with all the
folks leaving WBIR someone
might have thoughts on that
joint? If you are a mole
under the sod at Heart Land
be sure to let us know what is
cooking!

I find it hard to believe that hacks with no lives can have such negative words to say about good quality people, such as Dan Farkas, just because these people's on-air perfomances don't meet their goody-two-shoe standards.

If you are going to bitch and complain about your LOCAL NEIGHBORS who work in the LOCAL media, why aren't we complaining about the real assholes who have attitudes and think they are better than everyone else. A prominent anchorwoman at WATE comes to mind, as well as a weekend hack at WVLT. These are the real people who suck at life.

Form your own opinions- that's what I like about this country. But if you don't like who you see on TV, then you don't have to f*cking watch them! That's why I after I watch the news on WBIR, I flip to either WATE or WVLT to watch alternative sports coverage. But I don't make it a habit to bash good quality individuals like Dan.

Good luck Dan. May you find a better public reception outside of Knoxville. Some of these prior posters on this blog from weeks past should be damned ashamed of themselves.

I also agree that Dan did a good job and will be missed.

As for the hate of the Tucker woman, come on. She has been an anchor at WATE for over 25 years and looks just about as good today as when she started. Just because Gene Patterson is much younger than she is is no reason to make fun of her sudden increase in size.

I work at WATE and I know for a fact that all these negitive posts are being put up by Gene. He uses this blog because it never outs anyone and never tries to find out who they are. Gene hates the woman and knows if they cut anyone from the budget it will be HIM!

Lori does very well amoung the viewers and Gene is just flat. He sees it and knows he has to get rid of her.

Mat is also a cruel person and can't be trusted.


Also don't forget the mighty
St. Pats party!!! This one
is guaranteed to put a
smile on your face that time
can't erase! Click right here for
all the details!

FARKMAN, VOLS,NADER

BOY HOWDY did we win or did we WIN!
UT provided the class and the
talent and ESPN provided the
fools!

From the bald old guy who
couldn't talk about the
game for talking about
himself to the cry
baby who said "Even though
the Tigers didn't shoot well,
didn't rebound well and
couldn't hit fowl shots they
STILL PLAYED UT down to the wire"
the network just sucked!

Oh and as for playing us down
to the wire the guy should have
checked the stats. Memphis shot the
lights out, hit more foul shots than
we did and rebounded on defense
better than the Vols. The end
result is we out coached and out
played the number one team in the
Nation!










LOOK WHO IS BACK!!
Granted he is crazy as an
outhouse rat and older than
EVERYONE, but he does give
the DemOrats a fit so we
have to love the guy!

As for him bringing back
his green party to split
the far left vote, it sure
can't hurt us. As polarized
as they are...with factions
frothing at the mouth for OldBomber
and the rest building Hillary
alters, Ralph could be just what we
need to bleed off the real crazies
and let us win.

I will give him this he is an
equal opportunity hater when it
comes to the two parties and
more than a few out there agree
with the guy.







Bless his heart the Farkman is leaving WBIR.
Another outstanding blog has nailed the story
and for full details including photos
dash over by clicking right here!

More than a few of you
unwashed viewers have gone after
this man and I am sure you
will hate to see him go. I have
talked to a few TRUSTED
inside types and they tell me
he is a very nice guy and
was also very GOOD at his job.


Why in the name of being
NUMBER ONE ALL THE TIME
would so many jump off the
WBIR ship? Some say (you know
as in those who are often quoted
in the New York Times) the place
is kinda changing. Those same
unidentified folks whisper that
more than a few kids working
at 10 are now just part time
and the old heads are doubling up
on various jobs. Is it true?
Heck if I know but we have to say
something about all these people
leaving Knoxville's top TV news station
and that might as well be it.
Oh another mole said Steve Dean is back.
Lord I hope he is, their imaging stuff
has so SUCKED since he left!


Down the street good old WATE
finds their parent company still
looking for ways to stop the bleeding.
Young wanted to slice 20 million out
of the budget and so far around 11
has been pealed off. The rest reportedly
will be removed by the end of 08.
Shame they can't put some money INTO
WATE news and give them a shot at
going after 10. You would think
with all the folks leaving at BIR now
would be THE time go take a run at them.
Yea you would think.



Boring as it is the political
crap continues to rise to the surface.
Last week the wife of the DemoRat front
runner told the world she just now became
proud of our country. Nice work honey that
will so win the hearts of the AMERICAN
voting public!

Then Hillary and the guy went toe to
chair in a debate last week and
Mrs Clinton just cleaned his clock.





Hey the guy was SCARED to both look at
her or even sit close. He leaned so far
away from her he bout fell in the
floor. Again, what does that say
about the dude IF he ever has to
talk for the COUNTRY against a foreign
leader intent on launching an ICBM
at Dolly dang WOOD?
Lots of fun to watch but when
you start to think about either of these
folks running the USA it makes you
shiver!

HEY WANTA GO TO A PARTY?
Friday before St. Pats
is the day and if you
like acoustic picking
that includes tunes ranging from
Tom Dooley to In The Midnight Hour
then click right here and check this out! It is
going to be a heck of a good TIME!

YOU GUYS KILL ME!

KIDS...last week the
mighty MEDIA REPORT
sort of turned back to the
old days of telling you what
is going on under the rock at
our local TV stations.

We talked about the move to
mornings by Russ on WBIR and
even had a picture of his new
Pard. WE did NOT at any
time MENTION the gal anchor on
WBIR or even ELUDE to her
fashion statement on a certain
6 PM News Cast a week ago.


BUT BOY HOWDY YOU GUYS AND
GALS SURE DID?

Anyway, not only are we going to
post your letters but we are going
to put up a slew (as in bunch) of
mug shots of our local gal anchors.
As you can see the Valley is blessed
not only with fine looking women on TV
but well dressed ones also.


As for your low, crass, demeaning,
below the belt, off color, sexists,
thoughts about how these girls should
dress while reading the news...
well YOU Have to live with yourselves for
WE have risen above it and rather than
throwing mud clods at you will CONTINUE
our NONE EDITED policy of publishing your
comments...no matter how crude or tacky.

That said...here be Y O U R thoughts
from last week.

Last night Robin (the girl on WBIR) had on a tight shirt and it reminded me of the old OLD weather girls on WATE. Wallene and a few others really did know how to buy the right clothes for the job!

She has always been the cute one on TV and

What time does the 6 o clock news come on tonight?

You guys have piqued my interest.
I'll have to check her out tonight.
If true, Channel 10's news will really be on the boob tube!

Robin helps me to keep abreast of the local news.

Last night she had the coat back on
and kept pulling it shut.
I turned over to WATE and then to
Channel 8.
Nothing going on there either so
I kept going back to 10 but the coat was still on.

Hey STUPID the 6 O clock news comes on at SIX O DAMN CLOCK!

As for girls with tight sweaters,
you are all pigs.
Some just might be JOURNALISTS don't you think?

My wife has a great body and a
better mind, I married her for her mind not her body.

Take a cold shower and if you want
sex watch Fox not WBIR.

WEEKLY UPDATE--

Dan Farkas is still a pussy.

Saturday, February 9, 2008 11:21:00 PM EST

SPLIT SHIFTS WILL KILL YOU

RUSSELL, you are about to be very tired. Hey
when tired hits often CRANKY and IRRITABLE
follow!

OK, on paper it looks good
more money (I HOPE?) and a shot at
NEWS ANCHOR, but the HOURS! Look
I will give you the fact that you are
a kid and have the stamina of a
bull (that didn't sound right?) but
as soon as it starts staying light
until 9 in the evening your life is
going to SO CHANGE! I don't care if
you go back to the aluminum foil on the
windows and a white noise machine in every
corner, outside they WILL mow a yard
guaranteed! Heaven help you if you or
your neighbor owns a POOL..CANNON BALL!!


Bless your heart summer will be the hardest
part. NEXT TO WINTER.. Winter is where you
will go to work in the dark and guess what...
come HOME in the dark! As for that nap, forget
about it, PHONES RING, ANIMALS ROMP, CHILDREN
GET SICK AND STAY HOME FROM SCHOOL, ED RUPPP
DROPS IN JUST TO SAY HI..the list goes on and
on!

All of the above aside, congrats on the
gig and your new morning anchor Pard ( Lisa Cornwell) and
remember MELATONIN!




WATE is still getting
attaboys for their
weather coverage. Wonder why at least
TEN NEWS 2 didn't go
all radar the morning of the
tempest? I bet they could
pre-sell the crud out of
STORMS ARE COMING SEE THEM
HIT INSTANTLY ON TEN NEWS 2
to everyone from Rural Metro
to Wolf Tree Service? Guess
they don't need the money.


For some ODD reason
mention of The View (ABC chat show)
has fired up the local
progressives and those who
live for girls basketball.
As always the staff and
management of the Report
has zero dawg in the fight
and as always we LOVE it
when YOU GUYS get into a dust up.

Here be the latest letters,
as always feel free to jump in!

Gotta agree with ya, Walker, on WATE's weather
coverage the other morning.
They flat out kicked the other stations' asses.
WATE should be commended for going local
with the weather information we all needed
and wanted when the storm arrived.
It's so sad that the other stations failed
to think of their viewers that morning,
and some dimwitted executives made some
dumb decisions. Walker, glad you reminded me of it.

Mr. Homophobic Hillbilly said...
Quoting.....

So? Get over it or simply don't watch it.
It's that simple of a concept.

The GLBT Community has just as
much right to be on TV as anyone else does,
so all of you prejudice backwooded homophobic
East Tennessee hillbillies can just get over it.

It is simple. I don't watch it.
I guess if I wanted to watch rugged lesbians,
I'd look you up. I'd expect to get a tonguelashing from you,
but I guess I'm not your type.
Why aren't you watching LOGO instead of Channel 6?

FLASH...JUST GOT THIS
AND MAN IS IT FUNNY..OH
AND ALSO T R U E:


Subject: FW: Are you a Democrat, Republican or a Southerner?









Are you a Democrat, a Republican, or a Southerner?

Here is a little test that will help you decide.

The answer can be found by posing the following question:
You're walking down a deserted street with your wife
and two small children.
Suddenly, an Islamic Terrorist with a huge knife
comes around the corner, locks eyes with you,
screams obscenities, praises Allah, raises the
knife, and charges at you.
You are carrying a Kimber 1911 cal. 45 ACP, and you are an expert
shot.
You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What
do you do?
...............................................................


THINK CAREFULLY AND THEN SCROLL DOWN:















Democrat's Answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question!
Does the man look poor or oppressed?
Have I ever done anything to him that would inspire
him to attack?
Could we run away?
What does my wife think?
What about the kids?
Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock
the knife out of his hand?
What does the law say about this situation?
Does the Glock have appropriate safety built into it?
Why am I carrying a loaded gun anyway, and what kind
of message does this send to society and to my children?
Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?
Does he definitely want to kill me, or would he be
content just to wound me?
If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my
family g et away while he was stabbing me?
Should I call 9-1-1?
Why is this street so deserted?
We need to raise taxes, have paint and weed day and
make this happier, healthier street that would
discourage such behavior.
This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with
some friends for few days and try to come to a consensus.
.............
........................................................................................................

Republican's Answer:


BANG!

....................................................................................................................

Southerner's Answer:

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
BANG! Click..... (Sounds of reloading) BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
BANG! Click
Daughter: "Nice grouping, Daddy! Were those the
Winchester Silver Tips or Hollow Points?"
Son: "Can I shoot the next one!"
Wife: "You ain't taking that to the Taxidermist!

AND THE WINNER IS!!!!!!!

Earlier a reader said
the reason The View was
in the tank was because
they featured women who
wore plaid. Again a READER
posted this and because this
blog is an equal opportunity
offender we certainly do NOT
agree with them.

The strong women reference
generated the following
response.


Get Over it said...

<<< And a liberal lesbian audience doesn't help. Ugh. >>>>

So? Get over it or simply don't watch it. It's that simple of a concept.

The GLBT Community has just as much right to be on TV as anyone else does, so all of you prejudice backwooded homophobic East Tennessee hillbillies can just get over it.

SUPER WHAT?

I TOLD YOU WE WERE IN A MESS!

Kids it is very easy to now head to
Montana with the typewriter and
hold up in that one room shack for
four years! For those of you who are
yelling WHAT DA HEY IS GOING ON...
the answer is CHANGE and we are not talking
two dimes and a quarter!

Locally (across the river from
GOD'S COUNTRY) Knoxville flat
tossed the bathwater, the baby
and all the rubber ducks into the street
yesterday. WBIR has all the numbers
if you want to dig around it them.

Bottom line is the vile DemoRATS
look to be getting a leg up
in the River City. If you think that
is a "good" thing read some of their
local blogs, friends you will find the
most bunker oriented, far left, tin hat
wearing creatures this side of
San Francisco posting there. This morning
many of those night crawlers are taking
FULL credit for the "surge" yesterday and
the scary part it...they actually believe
their own hype.

Nationally yesterday gave us no clear winner but
the way the "reported" down and out Clinton Machine
came back to life preaches volumes to those who
think ONLY change will win an election.

As for the Republicans, forget about it.
Fred why did you do this to us? We are left
with a socialist, a Mormon, and worst of all
a BAPTIST PREACHER!

Ya know after reading this I think I will
pack for Montana!


One letter yesterday took
WATE to task. We post any and
all love or hate mail, but
today I will give Channel 6
credit. When the weather got
bad this morning and WBIR was
boring us with THREE DEMOCRAT
SHILLS on the TODAY SHOW,
WATE went wall to wall to tell
us where the storms were.
Nice job WATE.


















LETTER FROM YESTERDAY


Anonymous said...

Consider the facts. Channel 6 has very little charisma and personality.

Mainly consider the lead-ins for the noon newscasts.

Channel 10 leads in with Martha Stewart. Ladies will watch and maybe stay on 10 for the news.

Channel 8 leads in with The Price Is Right. Kaboom! That is a home run. 'Nuff said.

Channel 6 leads in with The View, which has been ruined by the likes of Rosie and Joy. And a liberal lesbian audience doesn't help. Ugh.

I personally watch TPIR and right on into the noon news on 8. Pretty anchors, good weather guy, and the fat chef often keeps me tuned in to the end.

Channel 6 may be starting its death spiral.

SUPER TUESDAY

WOW!!!! Are we in a mess or WHAT?

OK deep breath, now lets see what
we can do. On the left we have the
CRYING WOMAN and on the right we have
the 100 YEARS OF WAR guy. How about we
look between the lines and see if there is
something...ANYTHING better? Don't vote
for an unknown because you hate the
CRYING WOMAN and don't vote for the
WAR GUY cause you think he can beat her
again look between the lines!
Oh and one other thing when you look be
careful of the flavor of the month, make sure
it has something to back it up!





Locally...as in Knoxville...LOL
GOOD LUCK!

Did any of you kids read
the NYT story about the cast of characters
who run River City? For the Times it wasn't
half bad. If you vote in Knoxville today
vote for someone who is already corrupt!
I am not saying that will clean the mess up
but at least you won't be corrupting an honest man.


Local media had one very very small story
last week. WATE told a mega fib to the
big paper about why they dropped the NOON NEWS
and naturally the big paper ran it as fact.

WATE is owned by a company that needs to
CUT 20 Million dollars fast! They took a high
hard one in the shorts when they bought a Calf.
TV station and never really recovered. Many of their
stations including the one in Nashpatch are seeing
the boys in the corner office roll out the
SNAPPER for some staff trimming.
Locally the halls of Gray Stone are filled
with whispers as to who might be packing their desk.

WATE has been in a rut for more than a few years
and even with the surge from ABC they can't find
a path out of it. Their local news is just stuck in number
two at 6 PM...three at 11 and 3 at NOON. Dropping NOON was easy for them
and the lie that there were no viewers was really a half
truth. They were right THEY had no viewers at NOON..they
were all watching WVLT.

GO VOTE KIDS!!!!! PICK A GOODERN and
HANG ON FOR NOVEMBER!
